All of this happened about 3:20 p.m. when State Police Sgt. Jay Cook was administering a perimeter post when he recognized Sweat on a road near Route 30 in the area of Constable.”

Sweat is now in stable condition at Alice Hyde Medical Center in Malone, N.Y. New Yorkers had to live in terror because of the perceptive that there were killers on the loose. The frightening period is finally over. The fugitives have been dealt with so there is no need to worry now.

Officials said that the Sweat was shot double in the torso and was hospitalized in serious condition. Sweat was serving a life sentence after he was sentenced of killing a sheriff’s deputy who was not armed.

According to Officials:

The whole incident happened as the shooting of the camper directed officers to a cabin Friday afternoon where they exposed the fragrance of gunpowder. There were different signs that someone had freshly been there and escaped out the back door. So the officer at the scene immediately notifies the authority and peruses the chase.

In fact Matt was found by police after a person dragging a camper observed a bullet hole in it. That directed consultants’ officers to tracking Matt to a cabin in Malone. Matt was exposed when the New York State police were searching the belongings and heard coughing. Two prison workers Joyce Mitchell and Gene Palmer have been charged in linking of help in the escape.
