Two SS agents have been shot protecting a President.
"In the summer of 1948, the White House was closed to be renovated and reconstructed from top to bottom. President Truman and his wife moved into the Blair House, which is just down the street. They would live there for close to four years. November 5, 1950, a group of militant Puerto Rican independence advocates stormed the Blair House in order to assassinate Truman. Officer Leslie Coffeit, a member of the White House Police (a division of the Secret Service), was shot four times by one of the attackers. Despite his grievous wounds, Coffeit chased the attacker, and eventually shot him dead. Coffeit then collapsed, and died of his wounds later that evening."

"About 20 years later, a gunman attacked President Reagan as he was exiting a hotel in Washington DC. When he hear the first shots ring out, Secret Service Agent Tim McCarthy, is an astonishing act of bravery, placed his body between the gunman and the president, and spread his body as wide as possible in order to protect Reagan: McCarthy was shot in the chest by the gunman, and he was rushed, with Reagan, to George Washington University Hospital. He was successful operated upon, and survived."
