A Secret Service agent was robbed at gunpoint returning to his home in Los Angeles after completing an assignment Saturday night while the President was at a fundraiser downtown, USA Today reports. The agent fired his weapon at the robber, but it’s unclear if anyone was hit. The agent was not injured.
The robber made off with a bag the agent was carrying, reportedly holding the agent’s personal property. Some of the contents of the bag were found later. It’s unclear if the agent was targeted or what assignment the agent was working on; even while the President was in town on Saturday, agents are involved in other ongoing protection details for other VIPs, threat assessments, and other law enforcement operations.
