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.

David Sweat, one of the two killers who escaped from a maximum-security state prison, may have had an important advantage in living in the North Country while on the run.

The more than three week manhunt for two escaped prisoners from Clinton Correctional Facility in upstate New York concluded this weekend with both being shot in separate incidents, and only one surviving.

UPDATE: 06/29/2015 4:04am  David Sweat was transported to Albany Medical Center overnight.  He is listed in critical condition.

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.

We're hearing that less than two weeks after the jail break at Clinton Correctional Facility in Northern New York, and with the two escapees still on the lamb, there is already an effort underway to make a movie about the ongoing breakout and search, TMZ reports.
