MALONE, N.Y. (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.

A noise — perhaps a cough — ultimately did Matt in. A border patrol team discovered Matt, who was shot after failing to heed a command to raise his hands. He was shot three times in the head, according to an autopsy.

From Vice News

New York State Police released a statement announcing that David Sweat, the remaining escapee, was shot and captured on Sunday afternoon in upstate New York. The confrontation with the 35-year-old Sweat occurred at approximately 3:20pm near Constable, a town about five miles from the Canadian border. Police said a state trooper spotted a "suspicious man" walking down the roadway. The trooper reportedly ordered Sweat to stop, and opened fire when the inmate started running away.

Sweat's condition was not immediately released. The Buffalo News cited a source as saying Sweat was bleeding heavily, and that his injuries are "life-threatening."

New York Senator Chuck Schumer said law enforcement officials told him that Sweat was shot twice during the incident, and that he was coughing up blood when he was taken to the hospital, according to the AP.

Sweat's capture comes two days after fellow escapee Richard Matt was shot and killed by police. Matt was carrying a shotgun during his encounter with police, and an autopsy report released Sunday found that he was killed by "severe skull fractures and brain injuries due to gunshot wounds to the head." The coroner also said Matt had bug bites, blisters, and abrasions consistent with living in the woods for three weeks.

:salute: to the 1300 officers that helped in the capture of this white thug.
