A US Secret Service agent, working on security detail for the former first lady Jill Biden, shot themself (sic) in the leg at the Philadelphia international airport on Friday morning, an agency spokesperson said.

Could be, then again maybe the agent was desperate to get away from the toxic bitch and this was his method.
Annie Oakley shakes head
Yeah, why was it out of the holster????
Maybe to show TSA or some security official ???
Must’ve given former ‘President Jill’ the same incompetent agents she had once tried to pawn off on President Trump.
It was .357 Sig at one time.
Now that the Secret Service has to hire Dollar General rejects not telling what pistol the agents use.
Is her name Bernadette P. Fife?
In a related story, John Effing Kerry, who served in Vietnam, is said to be on his way to visit the injured party. He is offering to compare notes on just how it’s done (shooting oneself).
Watch for Kerry on CNN eventually.
Are they also issued a “Glock switch” device, and an extended capacity Glock magazine with 50 shot capacity? You know, the ones illegal for regular US citizems to own?
That’s a classic right there. A useful riposte to someone asserting “only the police and military should have guns.”
And I haven’t even seen it yet to make sure it’s the one I’m sure it is.
A “million dollar wound”? Anything to get off Jill’s detail
Well that is certainly an effective strategy for getting away from Brandon Family Duty.
I imagine President Jill Biden was surprised!
Former President Jill Biden, I should say.
My first reaction was Glock or Sig 320.
“...It was .357 Sig at one time....”
Yep. But it was just too loud and too much recoil for the delicate little poofters and the DEI ghettopotomai so they switched back to 9mm.
Still, the .357 SIG is one heck of a round. Catridge is kinda like a minuture bottleneck rifle round but producing a 9mm Magnum. It is loud, but I kinda like it myself.
Sound like the agent startled themselves and shot theys leg that was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Snap Google search returns Glock as standard issue SS pistol.

IF this is the case, why was it upholstered?
s/b...UNHolstered
RE: gun out of holster.....
In the world famous Guthrie disappearance case, the surveillance camera showed a “Mexican carry” of a gun outside a holster by the masked, gloved intruder at the front door.
