CNN said Matt was killed by members of the Border Patrol tactical unit, which has been participating in the search. http://www.mpcourier.com/dco/report-richard-matt-killed-by-border-patrol-tactical-unit-20150626
It's a U.S. Border Patrol out of Vermont, I'm taking my info off WPTZ TV channel 5. They just reported that Sweat was still alive. I would think that with the Gov coming in from Albany on a plane that they either have him or they're real close.
Off topic but Jack Straw our local Fox affiliate was bombarded with complaints over Tornado coverage in April 2011 because they cut into American Idol broadcast. Once those storms are out of your neck of the woods people get irritable that they can't watch someone that will never produce a golden record get "critiqued" by judges that have no business judging
Subject: The Press Conference Tonight Lots of people from the Malone area are showing up for the news conference, some reporter referred to them has the peanut gallery. The locals let that reporter know how they felt, apparently the reporter was pizzed because they were taking up too much room.
That POS had no remorse pumping 22 slugs into that Broome County Deputy. I'd have no problem giving him a horizontal ride just like his scumbag partner got.
It is sickening to think of someone being hunted like a wild animal. However, he has cost society way too much in human loss, suffering and money that would be better spent. Time for closure. Pray no one else is hurt in this.
Nobody gave 2 chits that he killed an LEO before he escaped - if he should be dead the state should have sentenced him to execution - if he chose that for himself so be it
Matt shot at a guy hauling a camper, the guy thought he had a flat tire so he stopped to check, no flat so he drives 8 miles to the camping area when he goes to setup he notices a hole in his camping trailer so he calls 911, that's when they brought the tactical team in, they went 8 miles back down from the campground into the woods when they heard a cough, Matt wouldn't put his hands up so they shot him. He had a 20 gauge shotgun he had stole from a hunting cabin.
