WASHINGTON — Secret Service agents assigned to defend President Biden’s granddaughter opened fire late Sunday on a group of people attempting to break into an unmarked Secret Service car, officials said.
Agents protecting the 29-year-old lawyer‘s home in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington caught three people attempting to break into a parked, unmarked Secret Service vehicle.
“[A]round 11:58 p.m. … Secret Service agents encountered possibly three individuals breaking a window on a parked and unoccupied government vehicle,” Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.
“During this encounter, a federal agent discharged a service weapon and it is believed no one was struck,” Guglielmi said.
