A US Secret Service agent was robbed at gunpoint as the president Joe Biden was visiting Los Angeles for a fundraising event over the weekend, officials said.

The agent was returning from work Saturday night when he was visited at an apartment complex in Tustin, about an hour’s drive southeast of Los Angeles, according to the US Secret Service.

Someone called the Tustin Police Department shortly after 9:30 p.m. to report the robbery. Police said the agent’s purse was stolen at gunpoint.

The agent, who was not injured, fired his gun during the confrontation, police said. The Secret Service said they did not know if anyone had been shot.

Tustin police said Monday they have not located a suspect. Officers recovered some of the agent’s stolen items in the area. Police said a silver Infiniti FX35 was seen leaving the scene.

Biden and former President Barack Obama held a star-studded fundraiser in Los Angeles on Sunday that brought in more than US$30 million ($45.37 million) for Biden’s re-election campaign.
