Second escaped New York inmate reportedly shot near Canadian border
The Times reports that David Sweat, 35, was shot three times by a New York state trooper.
The other escaped inmate, Richard Matt, was killed by a US Border Patrol agent on Friday.
Sweat's capture concludes a manhunt that has lasted three weeks and involved over 1,000 law enforcement officers across multiple states.
Earlier this month, Matt and Sweat broke out of Clinton Correctional Facility in upstate New York, where both prisoners were serving separate life sentences for murder.
On Sunday, WBNG reporter Kerry Longobucco tweeted out several videos of a police convoy in Malone, New York that appear to show an ambulance accompanied by state troopers.

On June 6 the two prisoners used power tools to cut their way through the air ducts in their cell. They then scaled a catwalk and emerged from a manhole just outside of the walls.
New York state police did not return Business Insider's request for comment.
