WASHINGTON -- Secret Service agents protecting President Joe Biden’s granddaughter opened fire after three people tried to break into an unmarked Secret Service vehicle in the nation’s capital, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.
The agents, assigned to protect Naomi Biden, were out with her in the Georgetown neighborhood late Sunday night when they saw the three people breaking a window of the parked and unoccupied SUV, the official said. The official could not discuss details of the investigation publicly and spoke to the AP on Monday on the condition of anonymity.
One of the agents opened fire, but no one was struck by the gunfire, the Secret Service said in a statement. The three people were seen fleeing in a red car, and the Secret Service said it put out a regional bulletin to Metropolitan Police to be on the lookout for it.
Washington has seen a significant rise in the number of carjackings and car thefts this year. Police have reported more than 750 carjackings this year and more than 6,000 reports of stolen vehicles in the district. U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas was carjacked near the Capitol last month by three armed assailants, who stole his car but didn't physically harm him.

“So the SS can shoot people for stealing a car? “
Apparently not. 3 shots fired no hits. But the SS get their pronouns correct.
Maga extremists aren’t out casing Georgetown late Saturday night. Not dark enough.
Somebody did something.
Interesting. Thanks for posting. Comments BUMP!
The agent thought that one of the suapects might have looked a little Republican?
Oh,and Banjo Joe and his little piece of fluff are prepared to acknowledge that?
Yeah, that is disturbing.
Agreed. I also would think, where’s the bodies?
You have Secret Service agents, trained to be the omnipresent and omnipotent guardians of our “esteemed” leaders who can’t shoot straight?
This is going to cause some heads to roll, IMHO.
It is cause for concern too because the same agency is responsible for protecting President Trump.
Firing on perps breaking into a car? Had a regular patrol officer done that, he or she would be in a heap of trouble.
Perhaps the SS vehicle was filled with weapons and they fired to scare the perps away.
Yes. Normally using deadly force to protect property is deemed unreasonable. Nowhere in this story does it say the agents or Biden was threatened with a weapon. If the DC police give the SS agents a pass, it will be another example of two tiered justice for the privileged elite.
Perhaps Biden left “The Football” in the car and forgot about it.
Why does Hunters daughter get SS protection?
Payments to Seth Rich’s “burglars” ended.
They repurposed the Epstein surveillance cameras for neighborhood security, so no video of this event exists.
A lot of good SS protection is.
The guy needs more range time.
Yep, but these were protecting the pResident’s kin, so it’s all good and becuse the agent was such a poor shot no one was injured, anyhow./sarc
Because Hunter is a veteran.
“I’m hoping they intentionally missed hitting anyone”
That’s crazy. Those bullets travel a great distance. One of the basics of firearm safety is considering what’s behind a target. Spraying bullets is criminally negligent and should be a case for termination and charges being filed.
What the SS did is no different than gangbangers doing a drive-by.
And if the people trying to break into an SUV were Jewish, the SS would be sending them to the gas chambers.
