Update:
Via NY Post:
Fugitive prisoner David Sweat was shot and wounded during a confrontation with cops searching for him near the Canadian border, law-enforcement sources told The Post late Sunday afternoon.
Sweat, 35, was spotted in Constable, N.Y., by a state police sergeant who tried to talk to him before the bullets started flying, one source said.
Sweat was shot twice before being taken into custody, according to CNN, which obtained a photo of him bloodied and sitting on the ground, apparently handcuffed and being held by two troopers wearing disposable gloves.
Conflicting accounts left it unclear whether he was armed at the time he was shot.
Sweat was rushed to the Alice Hyde Medical Center in nearby Malone, where he was in stable condition and expected to survive
