In a startling incident late Sunday night, a US Secret Service agent was forced to open fire at three individuals attempting to break into a car just outside President Joe Biden’s granddaughter Naomi’s home in the posh Georgetown neighbourhood of Washington, DC. The dramatic scene unfolded just before midnight, sparking intense investigation and security concerns.

Confrontation Over Government Vehicle Leads to Gunfire

The tension escalated rapidly when the suspects tried to break into a parked and unoccupied government vehicle. The federal agent, tasked with protecting 29-year-old Naomi Biden, responded with decisive action. “On Nov. 12 around 11:58 p.m. in the Georgetown neighbourhood of Washington, DC, Secret Service agents encountered possibly three individuals breaking a window on a parked and unoccupied government vehicle,” Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi confirmed in an official statement.

No Injuries Reported, Investigation Underway

Miraculously, the encounter did not result in any injuries. The assailants immediately fled the scene in a red vehicle, prompting a widespread lookout. The incident, which occurred near Naomi Biden’s residence, is now under joint investigation by the DC Metropolitan Police Department and the Secret Service.

Naomi Biden’s Presence During the Incident Unclear

While it remains uncertain if Naomi Biden, a lawyer and recent White House bride, was in the vicinity during the incident, she was reportedly informed about the situation later. This incident adds to the growing concerns over car thefts and carjackings in the area.

Rising Trend in Car Thefts and Carjackings in DC

The shocking incident highlights a disturbing trend in Washington, DC. According to AP news agency, there have been over 750 carjackings and more than 6,000 reports of stolen vehicles in the district this year alone. Last month, US Representative Henry Cuellar experienced a similar ordeal when he was carjacked near the Capitol.

This gunfire incident near Naomi Biden’s home in Georgetown raises alarm over the increasing rate of car thefts and carjackings in Washington, DC, drawing attention to the challenges faced by law enforcement in ensuring safety in high-profile areas.
