WASHINGTON -- Secret Service agents protecting President Joe Biden’s granddaughter opened fire after three people tried to break into an unmarked Secret Service vehicle in the nation’s capital, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.

The agents, assigned to protect Naomi Biden, were out with her in the Georgetown neighborhood late Sunday night when they saw the three people breaking a window of the parked and unoccupied SUV, the official said. The official could not discuss details of the investigation publicly and spoke to the AP on Monday on the condition of anonymity.

One of the agents opened fire, but no one was struck by the gunfire, the Secret Service said in a statement. The three people were seen fleeing in a red car, and the Secret Service said it put out a regional bulletin to Metropolitan Police to be on the lookout for it.

Washington has seen a significant rise in the number of carjackings and car thefts this year. Police have reported more than 750 carjackings this year and more than 6,000 reports of stolen vehicles in the district. U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas was carjacked near the Capitol last month by three armed assailants, who stole his car but didn't physically harm him.

I’m sure they were just trying to raise awareness for Palestine.

The perps escaped and no one can find or catch them!

If an ordinary citizen, or even an ordinary police officer opened fire on people attempting to break into an unoccupied car, without other extenuating circumstances, they would be in serious trouble.

Opened fire when all they did was break a window? If this was you or me, we would be looking at charges.

[OHPatriot]

So, the Secret Service is Authorized to open fire instead of arresting the perps who were trying to break into a vehicle.

Does that give citizens Authorization to open fire when “Their” vehicle is being broken into???? Seems only fair.

"when they saw the three people breaking a window of the parked and unoccupied SUV"

Can the average Joe protect their property with deadly force in DC?

[Blood of Tyrants]

So the SS can shoot people for stealing a car? From the reading, I don’t think that his GD was in the car at the time.

[Blennos]

“Three people” in a red car. That’s quite the informative description. Well done, Secret Service. I’ll be on the lookout.

[blackdog]

A response to criminals we are denied.

[Red Badger]

Laws are for the Little People......................

[nuconvert]

I’m hoping they intentionally missed hitting anyone

If an ordinary citizen, or even an ordinary police officer opened fire on people attempting to break into an unoccupied car, without other extenuating circumstances, they would be in serious trouble.

As would shooting and killing a trespasser in the Capital.

your tax dollars at work...how many relatives of the Resident have SS protection?

[Dan in Wichita]

Especially if the people breaking into the car were black and the people firing the guns were white. It would become an international story quickly.

[OKSooner]

Thank you...

I obviously missed the word “unoccupied”...

So, obviously, the next question is what DID they hit?

[Gay State Conservative]

C’mon....be serious here. I don't have the first clue who this kid is or how decent (or filthy) she might be. But the last thing we want is for a member of his family to be physically harmed. If it happened the narrative at MSLSD would be “see,it was MAGA extremists”. And it would ensure a Rat Party sweep next year.

Hunter Biden’s daughter out jukin’ in Georgetown neighborhood late Sunday night. What’s not to protect? Is that whole damn family under SS protection? I thought that was only for those who live with the President in the WH.
