A U.S. Border Patrol agent killed during a traffic stop near the Canadian border worked security duty at the Pentagon during the time of the Sept. 11 attacks.

David Maland, 44, was a military veteran who worked security duty at the Pentagon during the Sept. 11 attacks, his family said.

Tuesday morning's Vermont Senate session began on a somber note. "If you would please join me in a moment of silence for the border patrol agent who we lost yesterday, please," said Lt. Gov. John Rodgers.
