In a recent incident in Washington, D.C., a member of Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor's security detail was involved in a shooting during an attempted carjacking. According to court documents, the incident took place in the early morning hours of July 5 when two deputy U.S. Marshals were on duty in an unmarked government car.
As the deputies were stationed near Sotomayor's home, they were approached by a man who emerged from a silver minivan and brandished a gun at one of the deputies through the driver's side window. In response, the deputy drew his department-issued firearm and fired multiple shots at the armed man, striking him in the mouth. The deputy then provided first aid to the suspect, who was later hospitalized and arrested on charges of attempted carjacking and resisting officers.
