Federal agents are investigating after a US Border Patrol agent was shot and killed Monday afternoon on a highway in Vermont close to the US-Canadian border. In addition to the Border Patrol agent, a “subject” was also killed in the shooting, and another “subject” was injured and is in custody, an FBI spokesperson told CNN. The agent killed was assigned to CBP’s Swanton Sector, which covers parts of Vermont, New York, and New Hampshire, a US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) spokesperson told CNN Monday evening. The shooting took place on Interstate 91 around 3:15 p.m. EST in Coventry, according to a news release from the Vermont State Police. Coventry is about 13 miles south of the Canadian border. There is no threat to the public, the FBI said. The agency is working with US Border Patrol and Vermont State Police to “gather evidence and process the scene,” the spokesperson said. The interstate was closed in both directions after the shooting before the northbound lane reopened. The southbound lane is still closed “and is expected to be a long-duration closure,” according to Vermont State Police.
