The suspect, who fired on two U.S. Border Patrol agents during a vehicle stop in Newport, Vermont, is identified in the incident report as Felix Bauckholt, a German citizen who overstayed an H1-B visa and was thus illegally residing in the country.

The agents were conducting a routine roving patrol when they stopped Bauckholt and a female in the town close to the border. During a records check, the unidentified female occupant was removed from the vehicle for further questioning, broke free, and began shooting at the agents, the incident report shows.
