From the Associated Press: A person was shot near the Canadian border in New Hampshire early Sunday by a U.S. Border Patrol agent who was returning fire, investigators said Monday.
The person was taken to a hospital, officials said.
The FBI said the shots were fired around 1 a.m. Sunday in Pittsburg, a town of about 800 people at the border with Canada. The agency did not provide a name of the suspect, but said the person was receiving medical attention at a hospital.
The Border Patrol agent, whom the FBI also did not name, was unharmed, an agency spokesperson said.
Pittsburg is a rural community that is home to the state’s sole border crossing with the Canadian province of Quebec.
The incident reportedly happened near the Port of Entry.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott said in a statement, “Initial reports indicate that the subject opened fire on the agent at which time the agent returned fire. CBP is cooperating fully with the investigation.”
The media is pitching the incident with headlines such as “A person was shot by a Border Patrol agent,” and “Border Patrol Shoots Armed Person.”

Pittsburgh is a beautiful town with great people who live there. A true beacon of rural America. Even in Pittsburgh the woke mind virus has corrupted a select few deranged souls to commit acts of violence against our law enforcement.https://t.co/floDJKqWI4
