WASHINGTON - An off-duty United States Secret Service officer was killed Tuesday in a shooting in southwest D.C.
Police say USSS Uniformed Division Officer Arthur Baldwin was shot and killed around 2:45 p.m. in the 4700 block of 1st Street.
The circumstances surrounding the shooting are unclear at this time.
Baldwin was charged with first-degree attempted burglary and destruction of property in an incident from April of this year. Following the incident, Baldwin was put on leave and his security clearance suspended.
In a statement, USSS says:
"Secret Service is aware of the information. We express condolences to the family of our employee. Any inquiries regarding the investigation should be directed to Metropolitan Police Department."

I cannot Imagine an instance where a secret service operator would be so unaware, as to be murdered.. Maybe an overwhelming number or a lucky shot.. But is our secret service going the way of our armed forces? Another scenario.. Perhaps a sacrifice to save another.

Sounds like this SS agent may have been dirty and hanging out with the wrong crowd. You reap what you sow.

Baldwin was charged with first-degree attempted burglary and destruction of property in an incident from April of this year. Following the incident, Baldwin was put on leave and his security clearance suspended. I guess he was off duty. He was put "on leave."

Unpossible. Guns are not readily available in d.c. Except for LEO's, D.C. is a big gun free zone.

Perhaps a sacrifice to save another. Or maybe he was just up to his old tricks - burglary, or a violent felonly.

That’s a drug neighborhood. I know it well. He was buying drugs and something bad went down.
Secret Service - - - DC is filled with these “hires.”
