Who was that agent and are they still employed for the same job?

maybe a little less time at DEI seminars and more time at the range may be in order....

6 shots @ 5 feet?

Deliberate miss.

That would seem to be impossible unless deliberate.

Wasn’t the assassin hiding behind body armor he hung on the fence?

They are still employed.

They are now a marksmanship instructor for the SS.

In other words:

The agents gun was loaded with blanks, almost as if he knew he would be involved in something...

You get extra kudos for your use of pronouns.

Thomas Sowell, who used to teach shooting when he was in the USMC back in the Fifties, observed that 85% of all shots fired in a situation miss their mark! (IIRC his account of this)

He said it was not an unknown phenomenon. It also explains why those with experience and a cooler heads make better shooters in combat situations...or so I am told.

“Deliberate miss”

Scary but entirely possible given everything else that’s happened.

Is there any reasonable configuration for this that does not conclude deliberately missing the target?
Is a deliberate act like that taken independently by an agent, on the fly, like a quarterback changing the play in the huddle?
Or is it also more likely they were directed to miss and the target was intended to successfully escape?
Stranger and stranger...

> Deliberate miss. <

Either that or the agent is the exact opposite of calm, cool, and collected.

That’s obviously not someone you’d want on a protective detail. But on the other hand, I’ll bet the agent has high marks on the DEI knowledge exam. So there’s that.

Butler was a remake of the Keystone Kops with a female cast.When DEI replaces the meritocracy, there are terrible outcomes.

This is the first report of shots fired that I’ve seen.

How is that possible? [rhetorical]

Regardless, I equate this with ‘zoom climb’ and ‘mobile chemical weapons manufacturing’...

For what purpose...who the heck knows at this point.

IIRC, in Vietnam an estimated 80% of shots fired were way above the heads of the enemy. It could have been due to the strong urge to not cause harm.

Accurracy at speed has to be rehearsed.

This all reminds me of the scene at the end of the Clint Eastwood movie “Unforgiven”.

Clint's character shoots multiple people. Yet, every “deputy” misses him from less than 10-15’ away.
He remained cool under fire while 95% of people panic.

Similar to getting "buck fever" when seeing a deer while hunting. This is why there are so few Audie Murphy's or Sergeant York's.
