Secret Service agents assigned to protect Naomi Biden, the granddaughter of President Joe Biden, opened fire on a group of suspects who tried to break into a parked, unoccupied SUV. This incident marks the second time in recent history that the elite agency has been involved in police action near the residence of the president’s granddaughter in Georgetown, DC.
Naomi Biden, 29, lives with her husband in this historic waterfront section of the city known for its trendy bars, restaurants and picturesque sidewalks. However, the recent rash of car thefts in the upscale community has left residents on edge. Signs posted on tree-lined streets warn drivers not to leave valuables in their vehicles.
Just two years ago, an off-duty officer foiled a robbery in progress just steps from Naomi Biden’s home. In that incident, the officer engaged in a shootout with the suspects, successfully protecting the victims. The Secret Service helped arrest one of the suspects involved.
While the Secret Service’s primary goal is to ensure the safety of its protégés and protected locations, they also maintain an excellent working relationship with the DC Metropolitan Police Department. The two agencies work closely together, and the DC Police Department often supports the Secret Service’s protective mission.
Washington, DC, like many major cities in the United States, is struggling with rising crime rates. In Georgetown alone, statistics show an increase in both vehicle thefts and thefts of property inside vehicles. Even US Rep. Henry Cuellar, Democrat of Texas, was the victim of a crime when a group of masked men carjacked him near his apartment building in Washington.
In Washington’s Second District, which includes Georgetown, more than a thousand additional property crimes have been reported through the year compared to 2022. The area has seen an impressive number of stolen vehicles, burglaries from inside vehicles and other types of thefts. .
Municipal police have confirmed that no one was injured in the shooting, and the three suspects fled the scene in a red car.
This incident raises significant concerns about the safety and security of the president’s granddaughter and the challenges facing law enforcement in combating rising crime rates.
