The Secret Service investigated a death threat against Vice President JD Vance reportedly made by a volunteer radio show host.
According to Fox News, the individual made the threat on the social media app Bluesky.
“It’s simple, we kill JD Vance,” the account’s now-deleted post read, according to the outlet.
The individual identified themselves as a WUML radio show host, which is funded by the University of Massachusetts at Lowell.

Fox News has more:
The comment was made in response to another Bluesky user who claimed that, “JD VANCE THINKS BRITAIN & FRANCE ARE AMERICAS [sic] LIKELY ENEMIES.”
WUML’s website says that it has “given a voice to both the student body of UMass Lowell, and the greater Lowell community” for more than six decades.
“Founded in 1952, WUML functions as a non-commercial FM station located in Lowell, Massachusetts, funded by the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, and fully managed and operated by student members, broadcasting both terrestrially and online,” the description says.
When the school learned of the post, it contacted authorities, according to a statement provided to Fox News Digital.
“UMass Lowell police promptly coordinated with the FBI, Secret Service and Haverhill police the same day to ensure an appropriate response,” the school said. “Contact was made with the individual in question, and the necessary assessments were conducted in collaboration with federal partners. Authorities confirmed there was no immediate threat.”
The radio DJ later resigned, according to Boston 25 News.

The death threat against Vance follows the damage at his residence in Cincinnati, Ohio, where authorities took a suspect into custody.

WLWT shared further info:
The man accused of smashing windows at Vice President JD Vance’s home in East Walnut Hills made his first appearances in both county and federal courts Tuesday.
William DeFoor, 26, who has a history of encounters with law enforcement, faces both state and federal charges.
On Tuesday morning, he appeared in court for the first time on state charges, which include vandalism, criminal damaging and trespassing.
There, a judge set DeFoor’s bond at $11,000.
Prosecutors say he used a hammer to smash windows at Vance’s home early Monday morning. He’s also accused of trying to break the window of a federal agent’s car.
Vance and his family were not at home at the time.
DeFoor is also facing more serious federal charges, including damaging government property and assaulting, resisting or impeding federal officers.
Prosecutors say he refused commands to drop a hammer and also tried to run away.
They say he caused around $28,000 in damage. If convicted, those federal charges could land him in prison for decades.
