Law enforcement officers have captured escaped prisoner David Sweat yesterday, two days after his co-conspirator Richard Matt was shot and killed. Sweat was shot and wounded by New York State Police Sgt. Jay Cook at 3:20 yesterday afternoon. He was treated and was in stable condition, but is now listed in critical condition. State police say Cook spotted a suspicious man walking down a roadway in the town of Constable about a mile and a half from the Canadian border. No officers were injured. It took officers 23 days to find Sweat. About 1,300 searchers focused on 22 square miles of heavy woods, near where Matt was killed by a border patrol unit in the town of Duane on Friday.
