A U.S. Border Patrol agent was shot and killed during a traffic stop Monday in Coventry, Vermont, near the U.S. border with Canada, the agency said in a statement.

The incident was the first time since the 2010 slaying of Agent Brian Terry in Arizona that a Border Patrol agent was slain by an assailant, according to a memorial list of fallen officers compiled by support groups.

One suspect, a German national, is dead, and a second suspect, a U.S. citizen who suffered injuries, is in custody, according to a Department of Homeland Security official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to provide preliminary details.

The incident occurred about 20 miles south of the Canadian border along Interstate 91, Vermont State Police said.
