Captured NY convict ‘critical but stable’ after being shot

NEW YORK (NEWS 1130) – The latest on the capture of one convicted murderer from a maximum-security prison and the killing of the other.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo says the escaped murderer who was shot by a state trooper near the Canadian border is in “critical but stable” condition at an Albany hospital.

Cuomo notes David Sweat had a bag containing maps, tools, bug repellent and Pop Tarts when he was shot twice by Sgt. Jay Cook on Sunday afternoon less than two miles from the border in Constable, New York.

Cuomo says Sweat initially was listed in stable condition but was downgraded to critical after being flown to Albany Medical Center on Sunday night.

The other escapee, Richard Matt, was shot and killed Friday afternoon in Malone, about 30 miles from the maximum-security state prison the two men broke out of on June 6.
