Secret Service Agent Accidentally Shoots Himself While Escorting Jill Biden

On March 27 at Philadelphia International Airport, a Secret Service agent accidentally shot himself in the leg while escorting Jill Biden. The incident occurred around 8:30 a.m. as the agent handled his service weapon. He suffered a non-life-threatening injury and was taken to a nearby hospital, where he remains in stable condition. Jill Biden and other protectees were not in the immediate area when the gun discharged. Philadelphia police and federal partners secured the scene and are cooperating with the Secret Service’s Office of Professional Responsibility. The agency says its review will determine how the accidental discharge happened. This incident follows an earlier case this year in which another agent was placed on leave for sharing sensitive details of his duties.
