The FBI announced the arrest of 21-year-old Teresa Youngblut from Washington state in connection with the fatal shooting of U.S. Border Patrol Agent David Maland in Vermont earlier this week. Youngblut and a German man, Felix Baukholt, who died in the ensuing firefight, were under surveillance for several days prior to the confrontation. The incident occurred when Maland stopped Youngblut and Baukholt on Interstate 91 for what appeared to be an expired visa. During the stop, Youngblut opened fire on Maland and other officers, while Baukholt attempted to draw a weapon and was subsequently shot. Investigators had been monitoring the pair since January 14th after receiving reports of concerning behavior, including Youngblut carrying a gun and both wearing tactical gear.
