What next?

1. Why does your title say "at"? The news article says "near".

Several 100 yards away. So at least 2 football fields away. That's not "at".

[bigwillq]

2. For the page views!

[Fred Sanders]

3. Well, it is in the CNN URL link title. Ask CNN.

[dorkzilla]

4. Now it says “near” when you click on the link. nt

[Fred Sanders]

7. The title in the CNN URL link, before you click, says "at". It was from a road way nearby, that is

the current news. Could change.

[dorkzilla]

19. Yes! Just a quick google search shows a jumble of “near”, “at”, “outside” “close to"

Very confusing!

[former9thward]

26. In other words no one knows....

[jberryhill]

28. You can't shoot at the house from any public road

The house is not even visible from any public road.

[former9thward]

29. Who knows what it was.

It could have been drunk dumb ass kids being jerks.

[jberryhill]

30. Not in Greenville

I can't think of too many places in New Castle County where one can legally discharge a firearm.

[jberryhill]

24. There is actually no sight line from a public road to the house

As a local, I can understand the confusion.

You can't actually get very "near" to the house either, as it is situated on a private road which is gated well away from any public road.

5. First link given says near. nt

[George II]

8. In your defense, the link DOES say "AT"....

9. The twitchy url says near.

[George II]

13. I'd believe CNN before I'd believe "twitchy" (whatever that is) - cue the CNN bashing

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

10. I am so sick of the attitude of some folk around here

[onecaliberal]

27. ^^^

That

[LaydeeBug]

11. what is this "twitchy" site?

I feel like I need a shower after looking at that. It was gross. Just Ewwwww

[George II]

14. From their own site, under "About"....

"Twitchy is a ground-breaking Twitter curation site powered by a kinetic staff of social media junkies"

Of course it is self-described as "groundbreaking".

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

17. that site is crap now that you mention it, i used it only because it was the only other source at

at the time

regardless, i will NEVER post a breaking news item again, not worth all the criticism

[dorkzilla]

20. Not a criticism of you, just the media that posts first, asks questions later...

They all try and post click bait, not your fault at all...

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

21. thanks...

[pangaia]

12. at near at near at near at near

GO PACK !!!

16. And from Wednesday: Military Tightens Security at Base in Delaware After Drivers Raise Suspicion

This is the base that Biden uses

18. Did Joe Biden fire a couple blasts from his shotgun in response?

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/19/joe-biden-guns_n_2719330.html

"Kate, if you want to protect yourself, get a double barreled shotgun," Biden responded. "I promise you, as I told my wife, we live in an area that's wooded and somewhat secluded. I said, Jill, if there's ever a problem, just walk out on the balcony here, walk out, put [up] that double barreled shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house."

[GGJohn]

22. Of course, my favorite:

http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2013/02/28/biden-advises-shooting-shotgun-through-door

Vice President Joe Biden told Field & Stream magazine in an interview published Monday, "[if] you want to keep someone away from your house, just fire the shotgun through the door."

[jberryhill]

23. You can't really get close to the house from the road

I live about four miles from there.

There is no public road where you can get a shot "at" any of the houses off of the private drive leading into that area.

There's a gate house to the private drive off of Barley Mill Road, which is a narrow twisty road, and I would imagine stopping there would attract attention pretty quick.

I can understand the confusion over "at" or "near" by persons who don't understand the geography.

It's more like a small compound of houses which are set in the middle of a huge buffer of land away from any public road.

25. Do Cars Come With Built-in Guns Now? How does a CAR Fire Shots at Anything?

Secret Service says car fired multiple shots last night on a public road near Vice Pres. Biden's home in Delaware.
