There was a security scare in the US after three men attempted to break into a car assigned to President Joe Biden’s granddaughter, Naomi Biden.
Secret Security agents were forced to act swiftly opening fire at the three men.
It was not immediately clear whether Naomi 29, was in the vicinity during the incident in the wealthy Georgetown area.
“On Nov. 12 around 11:58 pm…, Secret Service agents encountered possibly three individuals breaking a window on a parked and unoccupied government vehicle,” the presidential protection service agency’s spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement posted to X, formerly Twitter.
“During this encounter, a federal agent discharged a service weapon and it is believed no one was struck,” he said, adding that the suspects fled the scene and that “there was no threat to any protectees.”
The car was part of the security detail for Naomi Biden, US media reported.
Naomi is yet to issue a statement on the attempted break-in but US officials increased security around the area and launched a manhunt for the suspects.
