The Vermont Border Patrol agent murdered when he stopped a migrant near the northern border has been identified as David C. Maland, The Post has learned.
A 13-year-veteran of the agency, Maland had been assigned to the Newport Vermont Border Patrol Station when he was gunned down on Interstate 91 near Coventry at about 3:15 p.m. on Monday, according to federal law enforcement sources.
One of Maland’s attackers was killed, and a second was injured. The wounded man is in federal custody, sources said.
Maland had been working in the border patrol’s Swanton sector, which encompasses Vermont and parts of New York and New Hampshire.
The FBI has said there is no further threat to the public.
