CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Authorities have charged a New Hampshire resident in connection with a shooting that occurred at the state's border with Canada, federal prosecutors said Tuesday.
Blu Zeke Daly, 26, who also goes by Cullan Zeke Daly, of Manchester, was charged with one count of attempted murder of a federal officer and one count of assaulting a federal officer with a deadly weapon, prosecutors said. Daly was shot near the border early Sunday by a U.S. Border Patrol agent who was returning fire from Daly, investigators said Monday.
Daly is at a hospital receiving medical treatment under guard, prosecutors said. The Border Patrol agent, whom authorities have not named, was unharmed, authorities said earlier this week.
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has said shots were fired around 1 a.m. Sunday in Pittsburg, a town of about 800 people at the border with Canada. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Hampshire said Tuesday that a border patrol agent encountered Daly driving alone near the border late Saturday and followed Daly for a distance. Daly then arrived at the Pittsburg Port of Entry, which was closed at the time.
"The Border Patrol agent activated his emergency lights and exited his vehicle, at which point Daly started to turn. Daly then fired a handgun at the Border Patrol agent. The agent returned fire with his own service weapon and shot Daly," the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a statement.
It was unclear Tuesday night if Daly had an attorney. Prosecutors said the case is still under investigation and the FBI is taking the lead.
Pittsburg is a rural community that is home to the state's sole border crossing with the Canadian province of Quebec. It's is about 150 miles (241 kilometers) north of the state capital of Concord. The town borders Maine and Vermont as well as Canada.

MILAN (AP) — What a difference a year makes. Or nine months to be precise.
Last season, Inter Milan reached the Champions League final and did so in style, with thrilling victories over Bayern Munich and Barcelona.
On Tuesday, the Italian giant limped out of the competition with a disappointing 2-1 loss at home to Bodø/Glimt — knocked out in the playoff round 5-2 on aggregate — in what is being labeled as one of the biggest upsets in Champions League history.
It wasn’t the first major upset the tiny Norwegian team has pulled off this season after wins over Manchester City and Atletico Madrid and a draw against Borussia Dortmund.
“We know there’s a lot of competitiveness in the Champions League. If teams get to this stage it means they have something,” Inter coach Cristian Chivu said. “And they have proved that. They showed it against Dortmund, against Madrid, against City, against us twice.
“It’s a team which has energy. We could have done better in Norway, we could have done better today, too, but unfortunately it didn’t go how we wanted. We gave everything to try to advance, that’s football.”
The signs were there last season that not all was right at Inter. The club reached the Champions League final but was crushed 5-0 by Paris Saint Germain. It also lost to AC Milan in the Italian Cup semifinals and finished runner-up to Napoli in Serie A.
Coach Simone Inzaghi was replaced by Chivu, whose only previous senior managerial position had been a few months in charge at Parma.
The expected overhaul of an aging squad didn't happen, with Inter making no serious outlay in the transfer market as it brought only Ange-Yoan Bonny, Luis Henrique, Petar Sučić and Manuel Akanji.
This season, Inter is 10 points clear at the top of Serie A and appears to be closing in on the domestic title but it has struggled in the Champions League.
The Nerazzurri got off to a great start in the continental tournament, winning their first three matches, but then lost four on the bounce to finish the league phase in 10th, one point off automatic advancement to the round of 16.
“Bodo won both the matches, so they deserved to go through,” Inter midfielder Nicolò Barella said off the playoff defeat. “They didn’t put us in great difficulty today … the most difficult thing was to score and we couldn’t.
“Of course, there is disappointment because our desire is to fight on all fronts. We tried, they were better. With one more point we would have advanced and would have saved ourselves this playoff but this is the new Champions League.”
Inter needed at least two goals Tuesday to advance, having lost the first leg 3-1, and it pushed from the start. It had a number of chances but was prevented from scoring by some solid defending and great reflexes from Bodø/Glimt goalkeeper Nikita Haikin.
Indeed, most of the statistics barring the scoreline point to Inter dominating the contest. It had an 32 attempts compared with seven for its opponents and also completed 552 passes compared with 192.
“We have to give credit and congratulate our opponents because they did what they had to do and they did it very well,” Chivu said. “You know the level is high in the champions league and if you can’t be clinical and aware in front of goal, then opponents will punish you.”
