MALONE, N.Y. (WBEN/AP) -- The second of two convicted murderers who staged a brazen escape from an upstate maximum-security prison three weeks ago was shot and captured Sunday, two days after his fellow inmate was killed in a confrontation with law enforcement officers, a sheriff said.
Franklin County Sheriff Kevin Mulverhill said David Sweat was shot Sunday afternoon in Constable and was taken to a medical center in Malone, but he had no information on his condition. Fellow inmate Richard Matt was killed in a confrontation with law enforcement officers Friday afternoon.
U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer said federal law enforcement said Sweat was shot twice. He said no officers were believed to be injured.
