US Vice President JD Vance said a “crazy person" tried to break into his home in Cincinnati, Ohio, after a suspect was arrested following a security breach in the area. Vance was not at home during the incident, and no injuries have been reported.
“I appreciate everyone’s well wishes about the attack at our home. As far as I can tell, a crazy person tried to break in by hammering the windows. I’m grateful to the secret service and the Cincinnati police for responding quickly. We weren’t even home as we had returned already to DC," Vance said on X.
