This whole circus is scary, but very interesting. Saw that another arrest was made with a prison worker.

Reports indicating that one of the prisoners has been shot and killed by law enforcement. Status of the second individual is not known at this time.

The one that was killed is Richard Matt. Pure evil man. Here is why he was convicted:

 

Escaped murderer Richard Matt is the definition of the word "evil," a former accomplice told CNN.

 

Lee Bates, who saw Matt snap his victim's neck in 1997, told CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" that what Matt did during a 27-hour kidnapping that led to murder was heinous.

"Torture is probably an understatement," Bates told CNN by phone. He said Matt shoved a knife sharpener in his victim's ear at one point then beat and punched William Rickerson in an attempt to get money from the businessman. When Rickerson didn't comply, Matt broke his neck then dismembered the body.

Bates, who drove the car in which Rickerson was tied up, testified in 2008 against Matt and is concerned the escapee might seek revenge. He said he was scared of Matt during their crimes and was scared of him now.

The one-time accomplice told CNN that he knows Matt put a lot of thought into planning his latest jailbreak.

"He is a very cunning and dangerous individual," said Bates, who was convicted 17 years ago of second-degree murder. He served 15 years.

 

Matt and another inmate from the Clinton Correctional Facility in northern New York, David Sweat, now are trying to figure out their next move, following a weekend prison escape.

Looks like Matt has made his last move...

This has been very interesting to say the least.

 

 

If it is made into a movie, I'd go see it.

Matt was shot and killed at 4:10 pm 50 miles from the prison.

2nd prisoner shot, transported to the hospital.

They should have killed the cop killer.

Glad this is over and that no one outside of the two thugs were injured or killed.
