I have no idea how that could happen.



Quote:

A Secret Service agent assigned to Jill Biden shot himself in the leg while escorting the former first lady through Philadelphia airport.
The agent shot himself in the leg just after 8.30am Friday while on an assignment to protect Biden, a Secret Service spokesman said.
He suffered a non-life-threatening injury after what the federal agency described as a 'negligent discharge while handling a service weapon.'

Why would he even draw his weapon? At an airport?

Sig Sauer right now...



This is sarcastic. I was told that USSS uses Glocks, so not a Sig P320 problem.

Or, just identifies that way...

Probably looking for a sure fire way to get out of the detail so he didn't have to deal with her anymore

Read elsewhere it was in a parking/staging area at the airport. Probably handling a weapon to prepare for flying?

Booger hook and bang switch though...

I'm sure he had his guard up with all those deadly ICE officers around.

Protecting her from ICE agents???
You're from down South,

You always seem to put your foot there.

Were they on a sloped roof per chance? SS agents don't do well on sloped roofs.

I'm still confused why a SS agent would be handling their weapon in such a setting. Any insights? Would he have had to remove it to go through the metal detector? Wouldn't the TSA just wand him, instead?

Maybe he was playing pocket pool and mashed the wrong hammer?

Latest report was that the SS agent was in another vehicle in the motorcade and shot himself inside that vehicle.

Still a big black eye for the SS at a time when they need no more bad press.

I thought the former First Lady just needed love and inclusiveness in this world? Love is stronger than Hate!

First thought was this has to be a DEI agent. And that is the damage that DEI does.

It wasn't IN the airport. It was AT the airport.

City police told USA TODAY that the incident occurred near the 1 PIA Way access point and the Pennsylvania Tower at approximately 8:40 a.m.
Initial reports of the incident described the agent as traveling in an unmarked Chevrolet SUV when he "accidentally discharged his firearm."

The incident occurred shortly before 8:45 a.m. while the agent was on duty and handling a service weapon inside an unmarked Chevrolet SUV.
According to the Philadelphia Police Department, the vehicle was located near the 1 PIA Way access point and the Pennsylvania Tower at the time of the discharge.

So the more important question is WHY was this moron butter-fingering his weapon inside a moving vehicle?
