The FBI has arrested Teresa Youngblut, a 21-year-old woman from Washington state, in connection with the fatal shooting of U.S. Border Patrol Agent David Maland in Vermont. The incident occurred during a traffic stop on Interstate 91 in Coventry, near the Canadian border. Youngblut and her German companion, Felix Baukholt, were under surveillance for several days prior to the shooting, which took place after a hotel employee reported their suspicious behavior. During the stop, Youngblut allegedly fired at the agents without warning, leading to a shootout where Maland and Baukholt were killed, and Youngblut was injured. Authorities found tactical gear, weapons, and other items in the vehicle, suggesting the pair were prepared for conflict.
