A U.S. Secret Service agent fired pictures close to the house of Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen early Tuesday morning after a confrontation with occupants in a automobile close to her residence.
At about 1:30 a.m. on Tuesday, an agent working within the neighborhood of Yellen’s residence “noticed a sedan with a number of occupants who have been trying to open automotive doorways alongside the road,” the Secret Service mentioned in an announcement.
“Because the sedan approached the agent, a confrontation occurred between the agent and the automotive’s occupants,” the Secret Service mentioned.
The agent fired their weapon, however there isn’t any indication the gunfire struck anybody, the Secret Service mentioned.
The automotive’s occupants fled the scene, and native police are actually on the lookout for them.
“There was no menace to any protectees throughout this incident and no protectees have been harmed,” the Secret Service mentioned.
The incident is now being investigated by the Metropolitan Police Division.
