The attack comes less than two months after ABC News obtained a DHS memo sounding the alarm on these sorts of attacks:
Threats to high-profile officials are on the rise, and would-be attackers seeking to cause harm or fear are increasingly trying to hit them where they live – literally – according to a new federal intelligence bulletin.
A concerning “recent uptick” in personal residences targeted has left well-known people in both the public and private sector, their families and their staff “vulnerable to attack” in their own homes – and comes at a moment already marked by historic partisan tensions and volatility, analysts at the Department of Homeland Security said in a briefing memo issued on March 11.

The pivot has posed “multiple challenges” for law enforcement working to detect and disrupt insidious plots.
