New Hampshire resident charged in shooting at Canadian border
Blu Zeke Daly, 26, faces charges for firing at a U.S. Border Patrol agent near the closed Pittsburg Port of Entry; the agent returned fire, wounding Daly who is hospitalized under guard.
- On Tuesday, federal prosecutors announced Blu Zeke Daly, also known as Cullan Zeke Daly, 26, of Manchester, was charged in a shooting at the Pittsburg Port of Entry, which was closed around 1 a.m. early Sunday.
- Late Saturday, a Border Patrol agent encountered Daly driving alone in Stewartstown, New Hampshire, asked about other names, and followed him toward the Pittsburg Port of Entry after Daly drove away.
- After the agent activated emergency lights, prosecutors say Daly began to turn and then fired a handgun at the agent, who returned fire and shot Daly; a search of Daly's vehicle uncovered a Smith & Wesson handgun and ammunition.
- Daly is hospitalized under guard at a New Hampshire hospital, and the FBI is leading the investigation with Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexander S. Chen prosecuting; each charge carries up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
- The remote crossing, roughly 150 miles north of Concord, is in Pittsburg, a rural town of about 800 people where incidents are far less frequent than along the Southwest border.
