One of the NY prison escapees shot and killed by law enforcement officers

Richard Matt, one of two New York prison escapees, was shot and killed by law enforcement officers Friday afternoon, a law enforcement source confirmed.

He was killed in a remote area of Franklin County, N.Y. not far from two hunting cabins where he and fellow escapee David Sweat reportedly had taken refuge.

 The other escapee David Sweat is still being pursued by the Police reportedly on foot.
The Buffalo News, quoting a source, reported canine units had a "strong track" on Sweat, 35.
The location where Matt, 49, was shot is about 40 miles west of the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, where the pair staged a brazen breakout June 6.

 Since then they had eluded a massive manhunt involving 1,100 law enforcement personnel.
Update from NY Times: There's an exchange of gunfire between Sweat and the Police

    I hope they catch the other guy alive because if the both of them are dead the case against the prison officials will be more difficult.
