The FBI has provided few details about the shooting investigation involving the U.S. Marshal Service in Ryegate

The FBI is releasing little information about a “shooting incident” that the law enforcement agency says occurred in Ryegate on Thursday afternoon.

One person was taken into custody, the agency said in a statement, although it did not provide that person’s name or any charges.

According to the FBI, the incident occurred Thursday at 1:15 p.m. on Route 5 in Ryegate “involving an alleged assault on a federal officer (U.S. Marshal).”

The one-paragraph statement referred to a “shooting investigation” but provided no information about who fired or whether anyone was injured.

“To preserve the integrity and capabilities of the investigation, we decline to provide further details at this time,” the FBI said in the statement.

Sarah Ruane, a spokesperson for the FBI in Albany, did not immediately return phone and email messages Friday.

John Curtis, deputy chief U.S. marshal in Vermont, declined to answer a series of questions about the incident Friday morning.

“We have no comment at this time,” Curtis responded in an email.
