   Two deputy U.S. Marshals thought to be guarding Supreme Court Justice   
   Sonia Sotomayor’s home in Washington, D.C. shot a suspected carjacker   
   who pulled out a gun last week, officials said.   
      
   The U.S. Marshals office said that suspect Kentrell Flowers, 18,   
   allegedly walked up to one of the deputies’ cars at around 1:15 a.m. on   
   July 5 and pointed a gun at the bodyguard.   
      
   The Marshal fired four shots, hitting Flowers in the mouth. Flowers was   
   taken to hospital for treatment and arrested.   
      
   “The Deputy U.S. Marshals involved in the shooting incident were part of   
   the unit protecting the residences of U.S. Supreme Court justices. As a   
   general practice, the U.S. Marshals don’t discuss specifics of   
   protective details,” Abigail Meyer, a spokesperson for the U.S. Marshals   
   Service, said in a statement to The Hill.   
      
   Authorities have not suggested Flowers was intentionally targeting   
   Sotomayor or the security detail.   
      
   In June 2023, 26-year-old California resident Nicholas John Roske was   
   arrested near Brett Kavanaugh’s home and charged with attempted murder   
   after he told officials he wanted to kill the conservative Supreme Court   
   justice following the leaked draft majority opinion on Roe v. Wade.
