Re: Have a Nice Day! |2 Killers Escape from "maximum" Security Prison in Upstate NY
Malone, New York (CNN)—[Breaking news, posted at 4:03 p.m. ET] Escaped murderer David Sweat has been shot and is in custody, law enforcement sources told CNN on Sunday. [Original story, posted at 2:59 p.m. ET] If not for some gunfire and his urge to cough, escaped murderer Richard Matt -- who was shot dead Friday -- might not have found himself on the end of three bullets to the head. With prison-break partner David Sweat, also a convicted murderer, still on the lam Saturday, New York state officials are counting on another misstep. "He's been on the run now for three weeks," Franklin County Sheriff Kevin Mulverhill said of Sweat. "He's tired. He's fatigued. He's hungry. He's going to make a mistake." Two days after a member of a tactical unit opened fire on Matt -- hitting him three times in the head, according to state police -- about 1,200 federal, state and local law enforcement officers were searching vehicles at roadblocks and scouring dense woods in upstate New York for the now lone escaped inmate. Since Sweat and Matt broke out of the maximum security prison in Dannemora together -- and appeared to stick together on their flight from the law -- authorities were hopeful they could be right on Sweat's heels after encountering Matt. Searchers had at times followed two sets of footprints, but when they gunned Matt down one day after his 49th birthday, there was no sign of Sweat nearby. So, on all-terrain vehicles and in helicopters, they continued looking for the man who has eluded them for three weeks, using infrared vision devices to peer through the night. As of Saturday, however, there was still no sight of Sweat, according to a law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation. And bloodhounds had not picked up his scent. There have been "no sightings ... no real credible leads," Mulverhill told CNN. "The state police do believe they have some evidence that indicates he is within that hard perimeter." That search is focused on a 22-square-mile perimeter along State Route 30 between County Route 41 in the town of Malone and County Route 26 in the town of Duane, the state police said in a statement. Grid searches were being conducted until the perimeter is cleared, officials said. "I don't think the availability of cabins within this perimeter is the same as what they've had until they've gotten to this point," Mulverhill said. Authorities believe the men had been traveling one to two miles a day, Mulverhill said.

He may have again stayed out of eyeshot of searchers who locked down schools and homes in surrounding quiet rural towns, while they pursued over 2,000 tips on the fugitives' possible whereabouts. But then on Friday, owners of a recreational vehicle driving down Route 30 heard a bang that eventually led officers to Matt. At the time, they were near Malone just south of the Canadian border. "They thought maybe they had a flat. They got out; they realized they didn't have a flat," said New York State Police Superintendent Joseph A. D'Amico. Matt had taken a shot at the camper heading down Route 30 near Malone, according to Clinton County Sheriff David Favro. The driver saw a bullet hole in the camper. The reason for his firing at the camper is still unclear. N.Y. Gov.: No confirmation of David Sweat's whereabouts "You never want to see anyone lose their life," New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. "But I would remind people that Mr. Matt was an escaped murderer from a state prison. Mr. Matt killed two people who we know about. Mr. Matt killed his boss in a dispute and dismembered him. He fled to Mexico and then he killed another person in Mexico and was imprisoned in Mexico." Matt's half-brother was relieved to hear he was dead. "Right now I still can't think of him as the Rick that I knew. I can only think of him as the man who threatened to kill me and has killed other people and has escaped," Wayne Schimpf told CNN affiliate WKBW. Was security really maximum at prison? |

I just heard the remarks that DESPITE THE MONEY THAT HAS BEEN WASTED ON THIS SCUM, HE WILL RECEIVE TOP NOTCH MEDICAL ATTENTION BECAUSE "THIS IS HOW WE WORK IN THIS COUNTRY....DESPITE THE FAT THAT HE IS A CRIMMINAL, A MURDERER"..... Yet, a regular WELL STANDING WORKING HONEST American citizen is essentially on its own. |
