Tuesday morning's Vermont Senate session began on a somber note. "If you would please join me in a moment of silence for the border patrol agent who we lost yesterday, please," said Lt. Gov. John Rodgers.

Authorities are investigating the fatal shooting of a U.S. Border Patrol agent near Canada that also left a suspect dead and another injured.

Governor Phil Scott identified David Maland as the fallen officer, extending his “heartfelt condolences to Agent Maland’s family, friends, and colleagues."
