Multiple media reports confirm escaped convicted murderer David Sweat, who shot and killed a Broome County Sheriff's Deputy in 2002, has been shot and captured in northern New York.

The reported capture came days following the fatal shooting of Richard Matt in Malone in Franklin County on June 26.

Both inmates were located less than 30 miles from the Clinton maximum security prison in Dannemora where the pair dug themselves out, reportedly with the help of prison employees.

No word has been released on Sweat's condition.
