A woman has been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of US Border Patrol agent earlier this week on a highway in Vermont close to the US-Canadian border, the FBI office in Albany said Friday.

The family of a U.S. Border Patrol agent who was killed in Vermont during a traffic stop near the Canadian border says he was a military veteran who worked security duty at the Pentagon during the time of the Sept.

Vermont State Sen. Russ Ingalls, an Essex County Republican, identified the agent shot to death at the U.S. Border Patrol’s Swanton Sector as David Maland while speaking on the state senate floor Tuesday, according to a report from WPTZ, the NBC affiliate in Burlington, Vt.
