Maland.In a statement issued Tuesday afternoon, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which oversees the border patrol, said that Maland had “passed away in the line of duty” the day before and had “succumbed to injuries caused by gunfire following a traffic stop” in the Northeast Kingdom town of Coventry. READ MORE Vermont State Police had previously said that the incident took place on Interstate 91 at around 3:15 p.m. Monday. The FBI said that day that a Border Patrol agent had been fatally shot and that one “subject” was also killed. A third person was injured and in custody, according to the FBI. As of Tuesday afternoon, authorities had released little more information about the incident, which remained shrouded in mystery. Earlier, two state officials identified Maland as the slain officer in remarks at the Vermont Statehouse in Montpelier as they expressed their condolences. Speaking on the Senate floor Tuesday morning, Sen. Russ Ingalls, R-Essex, addressed Maland’s death following a moment of silence.“I just want to put a name to the face of the officer that was killed yesterday,” Ingalls said. “His name is David Maland, and I thank you very much for the moment of silence.” At a press conference later Tuesday in his ceremonial Statehouse office, Gov. Phil Scott also identified Maland as the fallen officer, extending his “heartfelt condolences to Agent Maland’s family, friends, and colleagues.”Public records identify a David C. Maland, 44, of Newport, who previously lived in Texas near the Mexican border. Newport is mere miles from multiple Customs and Border Protection facilities, the scene of the incident in Coventry and the Canadian border itself. Customs and Border Protection had previously said that the fallen officer had been assigned to the Swanton Sector of the border, which extends from New York through Vermont and New Hampshire. In an interview with VTDigger, Ingalls again expressed his condolences and noted the impact that Maland’s death had on community members.“We have a very personal connection in the (Northeast) Kingdom with law enforcement,” he said. “We honor them, we believe in what they’re doing, and I’m sorry I never got a chance to meet this young man.” Ethan Weinstein contributed reporting.Read the story on VTDigger here: Officials identify U.S. Border Patrol agent killed Monday in Coventry.
