Second NY prison escapee caught

A convicted murderer who escaped from a maximum-security New York prison three weeks ago was shot and captured Sunday, bringing an end to an intense manhunt that saw his fellow escapee shot dead. David Sweat was apprehended just 1.5 miles (three kilometers) south of the Canadian border and later transported to a hospital in the state capital for treatment, where an official said he was in critical condition. His capture wraps up a multimillion-dollar manhunt that saw up to 1,300 law enforcement officers at a time scouring the rugged, remote area around the Clinton Correctional Facility in upstate New York after Sweat and Richard Matt busted out on June 6.
