🚨SECRET SERVICE SCOOP: New details about the agent who shot himself earlier today while accompanying Jill Biden to the Philly airport.

The agent was apparently rushing and fumbling around after forgetting his cell phone in the SUV, sources told @RCPolitics .

The agent was only one week on the job with the Jill Biden detail. He was in the SUV behind the one Biden was traveling in. He left to accompany Jill Biden through the airport, but soon realized he forgot his cell phone.

The agent rushed back to get it, and his pistol fell out of the holster and was lying on the seat. He grabbed his pistol quickly and negligently fired it as he was trying to put it back in the holster. The agent shot his butt cheek. He went to the hospital where he is recovering and is expected to be released later today.

Out of curiosity, what do agents typically carry? I take it there is no thumb safety.

"In 2019, the US Secret Service chose the Glock G19 Gen 5 MOS to be their new service pistol. It replaced the long-standing Sig P229 as the agency’s standard-issue sidearm. " https://backfire.tv/secret-service-handguns-the-exact-models-they-use/

If I were on on Dr Jill’s detail

I may have shot myself to get away from her.

"...his pistol fell out of the holster..."

Seriously? I guess the federal office of excuses figures most people are gun stupid enough to fall for this. In all my years I have never had, nor heard, of anyone's gun falling out of it's holster.

That’s why I like my Springfield Armory pistols with a trigger and grip safety. Both have to be depressed to fire. It would be pretty hard to accidently shoot myself.

Takes awhile to get on the FLOTUS detail...but overall a short career for the ass shooter.

When the Glocks first came out there was a streak of similar accidents.

The cause is having the trigger finger on the trigger when attempting to holster the pistol.

The holster pushes the finger to fire the pistol. Leg wounds were the most common.

Common safety practice and rule is: Never put your finger on the trigger until you have the handgun pointed at what you want to shoot.

How long before all these DEI people are out of a job? I thought DOGE and Trump would have drained the DEI by now.

I’m glad that it wasn’t an AR-15. Those hurt.

Even with the safety on, when you shove it down your pants to conceal it...absolutely!

How long does she get security? As much as they grifted from Americans and traitors to this country, surely she has enough money to pay for her own security. Also, I wonder if she understands how it feels to have incompetent agents protecting her. I will NEVER forget what she did to our President when she took away his security detail for a spur of the moment woman’s speech that no one truly cared about. Also, screw her and her human garbage husband for not recognizing the grandchild that their garbage son/step son sired.
