“Border patrol agents on Jan. 20 made a traffic stop on a Toyota Prius which was being driven by Youngblut, court documents say. Felix Baukholt, a German national, identified as a passenger in the car, had an expired visa, police said.” abcnews.go.com/US/suspects-bo“
“Within 15 minutes of the stop, shots were fired. Court paperwork reveals that Youngblut fired a handgun toward border agents when she got outside the vehicle. At least one agent returned fire; it’s unclear who.
Baukholt and Maland died, and Youngblut was injured. She now faces at least two federal charges in connection with the shooting: using a deadly weapon while assaulting a U.S. Border Patrol agent and using and discharging a firearm during and in relation to that assault. Right now, no one is charged with the murder of Agent Maland.” https://www.wcax.com/2025/01/24/woman-facing-charges-deadly-shooting-border-patrol-agent-vermont/
“Youngblut and her companion had come to the attention of law enforcement a few days earlier when a hotel employee in Lyndonville expressed concern that they were dressed in tactical clothing and protective gear, and were armed. Law enforcement observed the couple in the Prius earlier on Jan. 20 at a Walmart parking lot in Newport, where the German man was seen wrapping unidentifiable objects with aluminum foil while seated in the vehicle, according to the affadavit.” burlingtonfreepress.com/story/news/202
“According to the affidavit, during the January 20 vehicle stop, both Youngblut and her companion were armed. During the stop, Youngblut fired her handgun without warning toward at least one of the Border Patrol Agents while outside the vehicle. Her German companion also tried to draw a firearm, and at least one Border Patrol Agent fired his service weapon. The exchange of gunfire resulted in Border Patrol Agent David Maland sustaining fatal injuries. Youngblut and her companion were also shot. The German man was pronounced dead at the scene, and Youngblut was taken to the hospital for medical care.” justice.gov/usao-vt/pr/wom
“According to the FBI, several Border Patrol Agents in three marked vehicles, including Maland, stopped a blue Toyota Prius driven by Teresa Youngblut on Interstate 91 southbound in Coventry. Felix Baukholt, a German national, was in the passenger seat of the vehicle. Baukholt was found to have an expired visa in the Department of Homeland Security database. According to the other agents at the scene, both Baukholt and Youngblut had guns, and Youngblut suddenly fired her handgun toward at least one of the agents while she was in the driver’s side seat of the Prius during the stop. Baukholt also attempted to draw his firearm during the incident.” mynbc5.com/article/border
