A U.S. Secret Service agent was robbed at gunpoint in Southern California over the weekend during President Joe Biden's trip.

"A member of the U.S. Secret Service was the victim of an armed robbery in Tustin, California late Saturday when returning from a work assignment," the agency said in a statement to FOX Television Stations. "The employee discharged their service weapon during the incident but unknown if the assailants were struck.  We are thankful that the employee did not sustain any injuries."

Tustin Police Officers responded and found the victim, who identified himself as a member of the U.S. Secret Service and said his bag was stolen at gunpoint. During the reported robbery, the agent opened fire on the suspects as they fled, officials said. 

Some of the agent’s belongings have been recovered, police said, but the suspects remain outstanding, KTLA reports.  

Biden spent part of the weekend in Los Angeles for a Hollywood star-studded campaign gala.
