A U.S. Border Patrol agent in Vermont has reportedly been shot and killed by an illegal immigrant on Interstate 91 in Coventry, Vermont. The incident took place around 3:15 PM on January 20 during a traffic stop near the Canadian border.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has confirmed the death of the agent. The shooter is believed to have been in a vehicle with another suspect. One of the suspects has also been killed. A woman was also injured during the incident.
News Nation reports that the shooter was an illegal immigrant who had overstayed their visa and that the agent had been shot in the neck. Police have closed the area of the roadway where the shooting took place, telling drivers to seek alternate routes.
The shooting comes as newly-inaugurated President Donald J. Trump has declared a national emergency at the southern border with Mexico. Authorities have also closed the infamous border crossing at El Paso just minutes after Trump was sworn in.
The new administration has also shut down the CBP One app, which was used by hundreds of thousands of illegals to be paroled into the United States under the former Biden-Harris regime.
