Richard Matt Shot By Police

[Historic NY]

16. Matt apparently shot at a driver in a camper near Malone, New York........

MALONE, N.Y.–Richard Matt, one of two escaped murderers from an upstate New York prison, has been shot by officers involved in a nearly three-week manhunt.

“Matt has been shot, he’s down,” Lenny DePaul, a former U.S. Marshal told CNN.

However, sources confirm that he has died from his injuries. Specifically, federal sources say he was killed by a border patrol tactical team.

Matt apparently shot at a driver in a camper near Malone, New York, a federal law enforcement source said. The driver called 911. When officers arrived, gunfire erupted and Matt was shot dead.

Officers are currently pursuing fugitive David Sweat, a law enforcement source briefed on the investigation said Friday, but they do not have eyes on him.

“They stuck together,” DePaul said.”They needed each other.”
