A Washington state woman charged in the fatal shooting of a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Vermont

 A Washington state woman charged in the fatal shooting of a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Vermont, which happened days after authorities began watching her and a German companion who also died in the roadside shootout, was scheduled to appear in federal court Monday. Teresa Youngblut, 21, faces two weapons charges in connection with the death of Border Patrol Agent David Maland, 44, who died Jan. 20 during the shootout in Coventry. According to an FBI affidavit, a border agent pulled over Youngblut and Felix Bauckholt on Interstate 91 to conduct an immigration inspection. At the time, Bauckholt appeared to have an expired visa, according to a Department of Homeland Security database, but investigators later confirmed that his visa was current. Youngblut, who had been driving Bauckholt’s car, got out and opened fire on Maland and other officers without warning. Bauckholt tried to draw a gun but was shot. At least one border agent fired on Youngblut and Bauckholt, but authorities haven’t specified whose bullets hit whom.
