That history was mentioned in local reporting, although officials have not linked his past to a motive for Monday's incident.In the hours following the arrest, Vice President JD Vance took to his social media platform to address the situation and thank law enforcement for their quick response. He mentioned his family was safe and was grateful for the authorities that responded to the scene.Reactions in local media and online have ranged from concern about the safety of political figures to questions about mental health and public access near private residences. No motive has been publicly confirmed, and investigators are continuing to review the case with assistance from the U.S. Attorney’s Office. An arraignment for DeFoor is set in Hamilton County court, where his charges will be formally taken up in the coming days.
