A U.S. Secret Service agent assigned to former first lady Jill Biden reportedly shot himself in the leg at the Philadelphia airport.

KYW Newsradio reported that the Secret Service agent assigned to the former first lady accidentally shot himself in the leg early Friday at Philadelphia International Airport and that a large police presence was outside the American Airlines ticket counter at Terminal C.

“On Friday morning, just after 8:30 a.m., an on-duty United States Secret Service special agent suffered a non-life-threatening injury following a negligent discharge while handling a duty weapon at Philadelphia International Airport during a protective mission,” Secret Service spokesperson Nate Herring said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

“There was no impact on the movements of the protégés and they were not present at the time of the incident,” he said. “No other persons were injured and the special agent is being evaluated at an area hospital in stable condition. The Secret Service Office of Professional Responsibility will review the facts and circumstances of this incident. We are grateful to our law enforcement and public safety partners who provided medical assistance.”
