A U.S. Border Patrol Agent and an illegal immigrant are dead
A U.S. Border Patrol Agent and an illegal immigrant are dead after a shooting in Coventry on Monday afternoon. At least one other suspect, believed to be a woman, was wounded in the shootout and is being treated at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. She is under armed guard by law enforcement. The Border Patrol Agent has been identified as David Maland, 44. Maland was shot in the neck. Maland was a K-9 handler, but officials said nothing about whether his dog was with him at the scene. The incident stemmed from a U.S. Homeland Security Operation organized in Vermont. Officials said at least one of the illegal immigrants may have overstayed a Visa and was being monitored in recent days. The Vermont Crime Scene Search Team braved bitter-cold temperatures on Monday combing the area for clues, including gunshot evidence. Members were still out on I-91 on Tuesday looking for evidence.
