A manhunt is underway for a 32-year-old woman suspected of buying the handguns used in the killing of a Vermont Border Patrol agent last week, according to a report.
Law enforcement agencies in several states are searching for Michelle J. Zajko, who is considered “armed and dangerous,” Albany’s Times Union reported, citing police records.
U.S. Border Patrol Agent David “Chris” Maland was gunned down near the Canada-Vermont border Jan. 20, and, four days later, Teresa Youngblut, 21, was taken into custody.
“The United States Attorney’s Office District of Vermont has charged Youngblut with assault on a federal law enforcement officer,” the FBI’s office in Albany said at the time. “Our hearts remain with our partners at U.S. Border Patrol Swanton Sector as they mourn this tremendous loss.”
