Secret Service Agent “Accidentally” Shoots Himself with His Own Weapon

GATEWAY PUNDIT

The Secret Service in America not only failed to protect President Trump from nearly getting assassinated on two occasions, but it’s so discombobulated that agents are now shooting themselves.

WUSA 9 revealed today that a United States Secret Service (USSS) agent was on duty Saturday evening right before 8 p.m. when he “negligently” discharged his weapon and shot himself. The incident reportedly happened near 32nd and Fessenden Streets in northwest Washington, DC.

He was taken to a local hospital for treatment and is expected to recover from his injuries. The Secret Service is not making any further details public at this time as they plan to investigate what happened. MORE

  1. If it had been a female agent the report would be all “themself” and “they”. As it is, we don’t know if idiot was white, black or hispanic. Whatever. Whites can be DEI as much as anyone.

  2. That location is nowhere near any official government buildings. Maybe some diplomat’s mansions are in the area. Why was the agent there “on duty”? Protecting hunter during a drug deal?

    Why did he unholster his gun? He shouldn’t have done so without a good reason, specifically some sort of threat. Being bored and practicing your draw doesn’t qualify. So…why?

    @Jethro — Lotsa high dollar homes in that area. I think we should assume that the negligent agent was “protecting” some bigwig’s residence.

    …in fairness, Uncle Al, at least ONE SS Agent needs to practice, ESPECIALLY re-holstering…

  5. Years ago, a local Spokane County deputy sheriff accidentally shot himself in the foot while getting his hair cut at Dan’s barber shop in N. Spokane. Evidently, he had his pistol in its holster, and it accidentally went off shooting himself in the foot. Yep, a real live Barney Fife, I don’t think that he ever lived that down afterwards.

    Yep. Retention failures when sitting, sislodging the gun and just blindly pushing it back in the holster…

  7. Why doesn’t the US Navy just put screen doors on their submarines which makes more sense than allowing women to be on board a sub with a lot of horny sailors and cooped up underwater for months at a time. Yeah sure, bring back a real CNO like Admiral Elmo Zumwalt who wouldn’t tolerate this insanity for even a millisecond. And I’ll say it again this isn’t the Navy that I served in honorably 50 years ago.

  8. So his weapon had a negligent discharge.
    So who’s going to show up pregnant 3 months later?

    Yep, now he has Glock Leg. I do occasionally carry one. It can come out fast, but it goes back in real slow and I make damn sure there’s no clothing between the gun and the holster.
