A U.S. Secret Service<\/a> agent assigned to former first lady Jill Biden<\/a>‘s protective detail accidentally shot their own leg at Philadelphia International Airport on Friday, March 27.<\/p>\n

Biden was at the airport but not present during the accidental shooting, USSS spokesperson Nate Herring tells PEOPLE.<\/p>\n

The shooting occurred just after 8:30 a.m. and the agent “suffered a non-life-threatening injury following a negligent discharge while handling a service weapon,” according to Herring. No one else was injured.<\/p>\n

The agent was given medical assistance at the airport and was transported to a nearby hospital, where he is in stable condition.<\/p>\n

“The Secret Service\u2019s Office of Professional Responsibility will be reviewing the facts and circumstances of this incident,” Herring says.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the former first lady declined to offer additional comment to PEOPLE.<\/p>\n

Biden was in New York on Wednesday, March 25, for the opening of an off-Broadway play<\/a> written by her former chief of staff, former U.S. Ambassador Julissa Reynoso.<\/p>\n
