| [Iran Press TV] Second New York state prison escapee David Sweat, who escaped Clinton Correctional Facility on June 6, is in jug after being shot by police, US media report say. The 35-year-old convicted murderer was injured and taken into custody by law enforcement officers near the Canadian border on Sunday, two days after his fellow escapee was rubbed out. "At approximately 3:20 pm on June 28, a member of the New York State Police spotted a suspicious man walking down a roadway in the Town of Constable," police said on Sunday in a statement. "The State Police member shot and injured Clinton Correctional Facility escapee David Sweat. Sweat was taken into police custody alive, then taken to a local hospital for treatment of his injuries," it added. The statement said Sweat's condition was "unknown." Richard Matt, the other convicted murderer, was shot and killed by police in woods in the town of Malone a few miles from the Canadian border on Friday. The two murderers broke out of Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York, 22 days ago. |
