The stabbing occurred two days after a Border Patrol agent was shot and killed during a traffic stop in northern Vermont. The incident was first reported by the Vermont State Police, in which an investigator was shot and killed in Coventry, Vermont.
After he was pronounced dead several hours later, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) told the Daily Caller News Foundation that “the incident is currently under investigation and CBP will provide additional information as it becomes available.”
The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to DCNF’s request for further information.
