Yesterday, a U.S. Border Patrol agent was shot and killed in the line of duty during a traffic stop near Coventry, Vermont, south of Stanstead, Quebec.
This grim event serves as a reminder of the inherent dangers associated with law enforcement duties, and of the sacrifices peace officers are sometimes tragically called to make. Our thoughts are with the broader law enforcement community as we offer our most sincere condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of the deceased.
