Secret Service Agent Fires Shots in DC Incident

News summary

A U.S. Secret Service agent fired their weapon during a confrontation with suspects attempting to break into cars near Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's residence in Northwest Washington, D.C. The incident occurred early Tuesday morning when the agent, on protective duty, observed a sedan with multiple occupants trying to open car doors. As the vehicle approached, a confrontation ensued, leading the agent to discharge their service weapon, though no evidence suggests anyone was hit. The suspects fled the scene and remain at large, prompting an investigation by the D.C. police and an independent review by the U.S. Attorney's Office. The Secret Service confirmed there was no threat to any protectees, including Yellen, during the incident. The investigation is ongoing, with further details expected later.
