A U.S. Marshal who was on a Supreme Court justice’s security detail shot an attempted carjacker last week, according to a charging document that was recently unsealed in a federal court.
On July 5 at around 1 a.m. Washington time, two U.S. Marshals who were wearing the federal agency’s clothing were sitting in an unmarked government vehicle, when a silver Toyota minivan stopped next to their vehicle. An individual later identified as Kentrell Flowers allegedly emerged from the Toyota van, approached the government vehicle, and pointed a gun directly at one of the marshals, who wasn’t identified.
