Police and the U.S. Secret Service are investigating an overnight incident at Vice President JD Vance’s Cincinnati, Ohio, home in which several windows were smashed and one person was taken into custody, authorities and local media reported on Monday.

Investigators do not believe the suspect entered the residence, and Vance and his family were not home at the time, a federal law enforcement official told CNN.

Local outlet WCPO television and other stations showed officers searching the property, in the East Walnut Hills neighborhood, in the early morning hours and visible damage to windows.

Police have not released the suspect’s name or possible charges, and officials said it remains unclear what exactly occurred and whether the vice president was specifically targeted.
