COVENTRY, Vt. (AP) A U.S. Border Patrol agent was fatally shot Monday on
a highway in northern Vermont south of the Canadian border, authorities
said.
The death was confirmed by the FBI and Benjamine Huffman, acting secretary
of the Department of Homeland Security in Washington.
In a statement, the FBI said that in addition to the agent, a suspect in
the shooting was killed and a second suspect was injured and taken into
custody during the encounter on Interstate 91 in Coventry, about 20 miles
(32 km) from the Canadian border.
The FBI said there was no ongoing threat to the public.
Huffman said the death occurred in the line of duty. The identity of the
agent, who was assigned to the U.S. Border Patrols Swanton Sector, was
not immediately released. The sector encompasses Vermont and parts of New
York and New Hampshire.
Federal authorities did not provide additional details but said they would
be released as they became available.
A portion of Interstate 91 was closed in both directions for about two
hours afterward. The northbound lane reopened just after 5 p.m. Besides
federal authorities, the Vermont State Police was also investigating. The
FBI responded from the Albany, New York, office.
Huffman said the death would be swiftly investigated.
Every single day, our Border Patrol agents put themselves in harms way
so that Americans and our homeland are safe and secure, Huffman said in a
statement.
Coventry is close to the U.S. Customs and Border Protections Newport
Station, part of the Swanton Sector. The area includes 295 miles (475
kilometers) of international boundary with Canada.
