A U.S. Secret Service agent assigned to former first lady Jill Biden accidentally shot himself in the leg at Philadelphia International Airport on Friday morning, according to police.
The Philadelphia Police Department said the incident happened shortly before 8:45 a.m. at the airport.
Police said preliminary reports indicate the agent accidentally fired his gun while in an unmarked Chevrolet SUV near the 1 PIA Way access point and the Pennsylvania Tower outside Terminal C.
The Secret Service said in a statement that Biden was not in the area during the agent’s “negligent discharge.”
“The Secret Service’s Office of Professional Responsibility will be reviewing the facts and circumstances of this incident,” a spokesperson said in a statement.

A witness told CBS News Philadelphia that it appeared the Secret Service agent was trying to get back into one of the SUVs when the gun went off.
The agent was taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center and placed in stable condition, police said.
Police said no one else was injured and there were no disruptions to operations at the airport.
