Washington:
The United States Secret Service said Monday that an agent — reportedly assigned to President Joe Biden’s granddaughter — opened fire during an attempted break-in of one of its unmarked vehicles on a Washington street.
It was not immediately clear whether Naomi Biden, 29, was in the vicinity during the incident in the wealthy Georgetown area.
“On Nov. 12 around 11:58 pm…, Secret Service agents encountered possibly three individuals breaking a window on a parked and unoccupied government vehicle,” the presidential protection service agency’s spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement posted to X, formerly Twitter.
“During this encounter, a federal agent discharged a service weapon and it is believed no one was struck,” he said, adding that the suspects fled the scene and that “there was no threat to any protectees.”
