A Secret Service agent shot and wounded himself in the leg while guarding former first lady Jill Biden at Philadelphia International Airport on Friday, according to the agency and a report.

The on-duty agent’s gun went off around 8:30 a.m. while helping escort former President Joe Biden’s wife at the busy travel hub, sources told KYW Newsradio.

The agent suffered a non-life-threatening injury following the “negligent discharge” that took place while he was handling his service weapon, said Secret Service spokesperson Nate Herring.

“There was no impact to the protectee’s movement, and they were not present at the time of the incident,” Herring said.

There were no other reported injuries, and the agent is at a hospital in stable condition.

2. Hope he recovers fully

I'll not ridicule him.

I'm glad he was ready to go if necessary.

10. According to the article, he was sitting in a stopped (parked?)

vehicle outside the terminal. I gather that Dr. Biden was not nearby.

I would like a source better than the NY post.

4. I can't even imagine...

what low class, sophomoric, disgusting comment the Orange Cadaver will offer in response.

[BattleRow]

6. Whatever shooting off his mouth response will be,you can count on him winding up shooting HIMSELF in the foot

5. I am most glad that a stray bullet didn't hit Mrs. Biden.

[liberalla]

7. Yes, MOST glad... most definitely!

8. He wasn't carrying a Glock, by any chance?

Enough people have shot themselves with Glocks the Glock community has a name for it.

11. Maybe a Sig

Glock trigger pressure is pretty robust.

9. So this agent shot himself in the leg while sitting in a stopped (parked?)

car? I cannot wait to hearr the explanation for this one. Thank goodness Dr. Biden does no seem to have been nearby.

On the other hand, this is the NY post. Any other reports on this?

12. I'm glad this wasn't more serious

And that Dr. Biden is safe.

13. Let's just hope the next Democratic President is rich enough to hire his own security.

Because I'm really starting to doubt the level of competence in the DOJ right now.
The harm that the orange turd and mushroom sucking Pammy are doing may be irrepairable.

15. Wonder

if he was around Crockett too. What's up with this.
