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.

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.

Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just (prematurely) glad to see me?

I guess we know where the Meal Team Six agents were reassigned to after the Butler PA debacle.

And hopefully not the third leg. That would be unfortunate.

How long until Krasner, the Soros backed- progressive at all costs DA blames Trump?

Being around the Bidens for any length of time probably would inspire anyone to shoot himself.

🚨SECRET SERVICE SCOOP: New details about the agent who shot himself earlier today while accompanying Jill Biden to the Philly airport.

The agent was apparently rushing and fumbling around after forgetting his cell phone in the SUV, sources told @RCPolitics.

The agent was only one week on the job with the Jill Biden detail. He was in the SUV behind the one Biden was traveling in. He left to accompany Jill Biden through the airport, but soon realized he forgot his cell phone.

The agent rushed back to get it, and his pistol fell out of the holster and was lying on the seat. He grabbed his pistol quickly and negligently fired it as he was trying to put it back in the holster. The agent shot his butt cheek. He went to the hospital where he is recovering and is expected to be released later today.

Yeah, if I was assigned to a Biden detail I would prolly shoot myself in the butt to get out of it too.  If it was Big Mike I'd prolly accidentally shoot myself twice.
