Secret Service snipers who worked at events involving President Joe Biden in 2024 failed to complete annual requirements showing they can hit targets, an inspector general said in a report published on Aug. 28.
Countersnipers are required to prove annually that they can shoot accurately at night and during the day. While all countersnipers met nighttime requirements in fiscal year 2024, just 17 percent completed the mandated daytime shooting in the first quarter, and none did in the second quarter, according to the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General report.
