U.S. Secret Service Agent in Ahmadinejad Detail Accidentally shot his car
The U.S. Secret Service is investigating why one of its agents shot his car last month during a United Nations visit by the Iranian premier.

Secret Service spokesman Eric Zahren confirmed that his agency's internal affairs unit has been asked to find out the details surrounding an agent's "accidental discharge" into the floorboard of his vehicle on Sept. 25 in Manhattan.

The spokesman would not confirm the type of gun used to shoot the automobile. The car was parked in a "staging area," Zahren said. He noted that there were no "principles" near the site of the shooting -- security-speak for the individuals under Secret Service protection.

Zahren would not identify who the agent was assigned to protect, although two security officials familiar with the incident tell ABC News the agent was protecting Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

3. Maybe he was hung over from the late night Cheney Quail hunt.

7. Accidental Discharges are very rare -- Negligent Discharges much more common.

8. He must've won the bet ...
... that he couldn't hit a car even if he was inside of it. I guess that'll stop him from being teased at the firing range.
