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.

Speculation runs from "Glock leg" to "another SIG 320 victim?" to "I'd shoot myself too if I had that detail." ;)

Good thing she's a "doctor". :laughing0301:

Maybe he thought he saw a Trump supporter. :eusa_whistle:

OK, he musta been carrying a P320. (hehheh)

Maybe he was trained how to carry a firearm by Tim Walz. (chortle chortle)

What the hell does Jill need SS for anyway, no one gives a rat's ass about her.

Hey, the last thing we need is another "disappearing old woman" for the "news" to obsess over.

I think they are there to ensure that Jill isn't making love to a corpse.

/——/. I’m wondering what gun he was carrying.
The Sig Sauer P320 has been linked to numerous reports of accidental discharges, with over 100 incidents and at least 80 injuries since its release. While the manufacturer insists that the firearm cannot discharge without a trigger pull, many users and some law enforcement agencies have raised concerns about its safety.

Thats a good question. If it occurred in the restroom I would say Glock Leg.

Either way that absolutely sucks and could be fatal if it hits the femoral.

:surprised1: How do they tell? The only time Joe moves now is when they move him to dust under him or they blow on him and he falls over.

Thanks for making my day!

What are the chances he'll get promoted to Trump's detail? Seems like he would be way more useful there.

The last anyone heard was they carry a Gen 5 Glock 19.....So it looks like "Glock Leg".
Until your post, I had not heard the term "Glock Leg". But, after looking it up, I can understand how it happens, as a negligent discharge. I have not had a negligent discharge with a weapon, but have seen it, not only by new shooters, but by experienced shooters, even what most might describe as expert shooters, well-trained in weapons handling. I can understand it being even more prevent with weapons that do not have a manual safety, though in actuality, I have only seen negligent pistol discharge of weapons that did have a manual safety, though not engaged at the time.

I carry. My weapon of choice is a Walther PPQ M2, another striker fired weapon that does not have a manual safety, but as I have said, I have never had a negligent discharge. I put on, my holster before picking up my pistol. I religiously clear and function check my weapon when picking it up off the bed stand before putting it into my shoulder holster. One of the things I like about my should holster is that it is always underneath my left arm, pointing to the rear. When a holster or draw my weapon, the barrel is never pointing to any part of me. If you don't want stand behind when I am drawing or holstering, I completely understand and avoid anyone standing behind me, when I do it. But, come what may, I will never be the self victim of a Glock Leg negligent discharge of the pistol point down my leg with a holster on my hip or (heaven forbid) a nut/dick shot, using and appendix carry holster.

All possible jokes aside, while I do not consider myself currently any kind of weapons expert, my general assumption, is that anyone who is a Secret Service Officer on protective detail of a President or President's family, most likely is a weapons expert, trained by the best, tested among the best, and highly experienced in weapons handling, usage and safety. Damn, I am glad I am not the guy laying in bed, recovering, knowing I am facing a professional review panel, over this momentary brain fart.
 
First Jill, second Philadelphia, there's a limit to the amount of evil a person can withstand.

"There just has to be a way out of this detail....There just has to be a way. Ah ha!" Boom!
