Richard W. Matt, one of the convicted murderers who staged an elaborate escape from New York’s largest prison nearly three weeks ago, was killed on Friday in a burst of gunfire by federal agents, two people with knowledge of the situation said.

The shots rang out as law enforcement officers zeroed in on an area of remote terrain in Franklin County, near where investigators discovered evidence in two hunting cabins that indicated the missing inmates had been there. The fate of the other inmate, David Sweat, was unclear.
It marked a violent turn in a sprawling manhunt that began in Dannemora, N.Y., a village near the Canadian border, and soon spread to large swaths of the state after Mr. Sweat and Mr. Matt engineered a daring breakout from Clinton Correctional Facility.
I was pretty certain that neither of these men was going to be taken alive.
Even if they surrendered.
Interesting.
The headline does not read: “Unarmed White Man Shot by Police”.
He was just turning his life around!
Where his baby pictures posted yet?
Maybe he identified as Black. Boy-o-Boy, wait until Sharpy finds out.
If either of these escapee thugs were black or Mexican the DOJ would have stood down.
about four hours of daylight to take down the other one
It seems they were sticking close to each other.
A few years ago near our family cabin in Colorado a couple came through the small town and shot and killed a police officer (new to the job and with a 2 year old child) - a huge manhunt but it was Oct and getting cold in the mountains, they called the search off about 3 weeks later due to weather, which people thought was a bit quick to call off as the weather was not that bad. The next spring the two were found propped up against a tree with bullets in their heads, been there all winter. There is justice at times.
I bet this will be another case of the Perp having 300 bullet holes, and when they ask the troopers why, they’ll say they ran out of ammo?
He vas my Boy-Friend!
“daring breakout from Clinton Correctional Facility.” ... Did any of the other Clintons escape???
It is reported that they stole guns from a cabin. Glad they nailed this rat you-know-what.
Best news in a bad day!
Homosexual activist: No...NO!!!.....Look at me, I’m an oppressed minority.....get back to the story of me, me, me, me...and my boyfriend.
If Matt were black, Obama would be delivering a eulogy for him right now and demanding that Americans hold an "honest dialog" (i.e. monolog from Obama) about race and profiling by police.
looks true ... 10-4
They were homos? Was that hot *cough* blonde guard a beard?
