PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. (AP) — Two killers on the loose from a New York prison for three weeks disagreed over whether to hole up in hunting cabin, with one worried about being captured and the other suggesting they could kill or take hostage anyone who checked in on the remote camp.

The New York State Department of Corrections says escaped killer David Sweat has been discharged from the infirmary at the Five Points Correctional Facility in Romulus and will be housed in the prison's Special Housing Unit.

The state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision says it has placed three members of the Clinton Correctional Facility's Executive Team and nine security staff employees on administrative leave.

Police searching for two inmates who escaped from Clinton Correctional Facility have shot one of the men and are involved in a chase with the other.

State Police investigators believe the two escaped killers in northern New York spent time at a cabin just 20 miles from the prison where they escaped from.

The search for the two convicted murders who escaped from a northern New York prison two weeks ago now also includes an area near the New York - Pennsylvania border.

LINDLEY, N.Y. (AP) — New York State Police are investigating a possible sighting of the two convicted killers who escaped from an upstate New York prison two weeks ago.

Police are continuing the search for escaped Clinton Correctional Facility inmates David Sweat and Richard Matt.

Governor Andrew Cuomo says investigators are following every lead in an effort to find a pair of escaped killers.

The safety of countless residents may be at risk while the State of New York is spending as yet untold sums of money in the search for two prisoners who escaped from the Clinton Correctional Facility more than four days ago.
