A Secret Service agent protecting one of President Biden's grandchildren opened fire last night in Washington, D.C.
Gunfire was reported around midnight following a successful attempt by the agent to stop three car thieves from breaking into a secret service vehicle in one of the District of Columbia's most affluent neighborhoods.
As Fox News reports:
At around 11:58 p.m. on Sunday in the Georgetown neighborhood of D.C., Secret Service agents encountered possibly three individuals breaking a window on a parked and unoccupied government vehicle, the agency confirmed in a statement obtained by Fox News.
During the encounter, a federal agent discharged a service weapon, and it is believed no one was struck, the Secret Service said. The offenders immediately fled the scene in a red vehicle and a regional lookout was issued to supporting units.
“There was no threat to any protectees and the incident is being investigated by the DC Metropolitan Police Department and the Secret Service,” the statement said.
Fox News confirmed the federal agent involved was assigned to protect Naomi Biden.
