Secret Service agent fires at suspects
By Joe Marino and Diana Glebova
A Secret Service agent fired a shot outside Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s home in the early hours of Tuesday morning after an altercation with suspects trying to break into unoccupied parked cars.
No one was hit — but the suspects drove off in their sedan from the Cabinet official’s neighborhood in Northwest Washington shortly after 1:30 a.m. and have not yet been apprehended.

“There was no threat to any protectees during this incident and no protectees were harmed,” Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement.
The DC Metro Police Department is investigating the incident, he added, which will be overseen by the US Attorney Matthew Graves’ office.

DC was caught in an internal tangle in 2023 on whether to enact criminal justice reform to lower penalties for crimes like carjackings.
Members of the District of Columbia Council voted to override Mayor Muriel Bowser’s veto of their proposed measures that lightened penalties — but Congress and President Biden ended up signing off on legislation that overrode the new criminal code.
