Secret Service agent on Biden’s granddaughter’s security detail fired weapon in response to car break-in

Washington (CNN) A US Secret Service agent on President Joe Biden’s granddaughter Naomi Biden’s security detail shot at individuals attempting to break into a US government vehicle in Georgetown, CNN has learned.

“On Nov. 12 around 11:58 p.m. in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, DC, Secret Service agents encountered possibly three individuals breaking a window on a parked and unoccupied government vehicle,” Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement.

He added, “During this encounter, a federal agent discharged a service weapon and it is believed no one was struck. The offenders immediately fled the scene in a red vehicle and a regional lookout was issued to supporting units” and that there was “no threat” to any of the Secret Service’s protectees.

I guess shooting thieves are back on the menu.

It's just stuff. Is stuff more important than someone's life?

They got insurance, that's what it's for.

There should be no civil or criminal liability for defending your property as long as no innocent person is hurt or property damaged. If someone values the stuff in my car more than they value their life, good riddance.
