2nd New York jail escapee caught

(ANSA) - Rome, June 29 - A second escaped murderer who made a daring New York State jail break three weeks ago was shot and critically wounded Sunday, two days after the first one was killed, also near the Canadian border.
    David Sweat is in "critical but stable" condition at an Albany hospital, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday.
    Cuomo told CNN that Sweat's condition initially was listed in stable condition but was downgraded to critical after being flown to Albany Medical Center on Sunday night.
    Sweat is one of two prisoners who escaped from a maximum-security prison in upstate NY three weeks ago. The other escapee, Richard Matt, was killed in a confrontation with law enforcement on Friday.
    Cuomo said Sweat had a bag containing maps, tools, bug repellent and Pop Tarts when he was shot twice by Sgt. Jay Cook on Sunday afternoon in a farm field less than two miles from the border in Constable, New York.
    The daring escape from Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora was "done with facilitators, it was done with cooperators," Cuomo said.
    "This was Cool Hand Luke meets Shawshank Redemption," he said on MSNBC's Morning Joe.
