'Shawshank' Escapee in Critical Condition After Being Shot By Police: Killer Was Cornered By Local Veteran Who Spotted Him JOGGING at Canadian border

Prison escapee David Sweat in critical condition after being captured alive
David Sweat, the last of the two New York state inmates who escaped from prison three weeks ago, was rushed to a local hospital on Sunday after being shot by police near the Canadian border, two days after his accomplice was killed, according to media reports.
Sweat, 35, has been on the run since he and fellow inmate Richard Matt were discovered missing from the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York, on June 6.
Sweat was shot and taken into custody in the town of Constable, N.Y., 23 miles north of Duane, where his accomplice was shot and killed on Friday, the Buffalo News reported.

Constable is just five miles south of New York’s border with the Canadian province of Quebec.
Sweat was bleeding badly from “life-threatening” wounds, the Buffalo News said.
An Albany Times reporter said on Twitter that Sweat was taken to a hospital in Malone, New York, and he would be airlifted to a hospital in the state capital of Albany.
Capturing the suspect alive would enable New York state prison authorities to learn more about how the pair managed to break out and use that information to tighten security.
