we begin with our breaking news. the nightmare is over. those words just spoken by new york governor andrew cuomo. escaped convicter murderer who killed a sheriffs deputy david sweat has been captured. shot twice and in the hands of police as we speak. this photo obtained showed the moment just after sweat was apprehended by a new york state
5:01 pm
officer who took him down. new york police sergeant jay cook. he brought down the fugitive all by himself. as we speak, sweat is on his way to albany medical center. you see his ambulance in the police police patrol there. he's going to get further treatment there. he is in stable condition after shot twice in the torso. this after 23 days on the run through the wilderness of upstate new york. captured just 1 1/2 miles from the canadian border. moments ago the governor detailing the capture. getting a lot of new information on how he and his apolice escaped from the clinton correctional facility three weeks ago. we have live team coverage of sweat's capture. alexandra field is on the ground. jean casarezs is outside of the medical center where he was initially treated. deborah feyerick in new york and a host of law enforcement
5:02 pm
analysts. what stands out first from what the governor said? >> so much. the fact there was a tool box left on the catwalk they were able to access and break out of that facility. major breach in protocol there. the second thing is something that the superintendent said that you had a sergeant alone a mile and a half from the border, essentially, who saw david sweat and who confronted him, told him to stop. sweat continued jogging in the direction of the road. he asked him again. sweat turned around. recognized him and once david sweat took off toward the tree line is when the officer opened fire. that is interesting to me help said had he made it to the tree line he would have been gone. he was wearing camouflage and difficult to spot. the fact that this quick-thinking firearms instructor, the shoot twice and hit him both times in the torso
5:03 pm
is remarkable and obviously teams were sent quickly thereafter in order to get him. >> we want to go to jean casarez as well. by the way, we will play for you some of the press conference that just happened last hour where we got so many more details from the governor and head of police about what went down. we will play that for you on the other side of this. jean casarez, to you, what's the reaction of the community? i know they converged on the hospital once they learned david sweat was taken in to custody. >> they did. it seems like the minute david sweat was brought in by ambulance, it seemed as though the minute he was brought in here by ambulance this community just came to the hospital in pouring rain and were standing outside and when law enforcement was going by, near the end, they just broke out in to a huge applause. there's elation for law enforcement, for helping them to make their community safe again. i also saw local people bringing
5:04 pm
hot food to the law enforcement. i think they thought they were going to be here for a long time here tonight because you don't know how long an inmate will be in the hospital locally here. and they were bringing him baked goods and main dishes and drinks and everything they could to thank these law enforcement officers. so it is a great day for the community. although they can't believe it is their hospital that david sweat was taken to and also then joyce mitchell, who is one of the alleged villains in all of this. that she helped to plan the attack with them, conceivably. that she went to this hospital with her panic attack when she decided she wasn't going to pick them up from the manhole. they are concerned their community will be known for that. i think as history records will show, this is where he was caught. it was this county that he was caught. i was talking to a law enforcement official who said something interesting.
5:05 pm
the cabins -- both cabins that were broken in to along where matt was shot and along where david sweat was captured was all in the same county here. so it is not that far apart. now david sweat obviously for the moment isn't in albany medical center. whether he will face charges of burglary and everything in the county could be a moot issue because there's a life term and he's noup serving but criminal charges of some sort maybe warranted for putting law enforcement through what they have put through here. >> absolutely. millions and millions of dollars governor told me in my interview with him this morning had been spent on this search. millions and millions of dollars. i'm going to play for you shortly part of what the governor said in this press conference. before i do that, go to paula sandoval on the ground in new york. what's the sense of relief like
5:06 pm
there? >> a tremendous sense of relief. 1200 police officers searching acre upon acre for three weeks and it took one single encounter between a new york state police sergeant and david sweat that happened down the street where where with we are. this is as close as we can take you to the actual scene itself. it is a crime scene. it has been sealed off. residents are told to turn around and go in the other direction for now. they want to make sure they have every bit of evidence. if you look over the right shoulder you can see the tree line authorities were so afraid david sweat would be able to reach and get lost given the attire he had, the camouflaged clothing. what we are seeing now, poppy, is this tremendous sense of relief from the community. frals law enforcement. i spoke to a couple of troopers moments ago and you could hear in their voice that they are lighter now. they seem to have this weight off their shoulders knowing that
5:07 pm
no law enforcement got hurt no, innocent people got hurt either as this nightmare, this three-week nightmare seems to end, only 45 minute drive from the prison where it started three weeks ago. >> isn't that astonishing. paul sandov palo sandoval, thank you so much. >> we are here with good news. i'm sure you have heard already, the nightmare is finally over. for 22 days. but we can now confirm as of two days ago, as you know, mr. matt is deceased and the other escapee mr. sweat is in custody. he's in stable condition. let's gave big round of applause to the men and women of law enforcement. [ cheers and applause ]
5:08 pm
as you heard and the superintendent will go in to further detail mr. sweat was spotted by a new york state sergeant, is sergeant jay cook. he was approached this afternoon but the sergeant recognized mr. sweat. obviously from his description. he engaged mr. sweat. mr. sweat fled. the trooper gave chase. the trooper was unable to catch him on foot. at one point, the sergeant decided to discharge his weapon hitting mr. sweat twice in the torso. mr. sweat went down. help arrived plane sweat is now in a hospital in stable condition. this happened a mile and a half from the canadian borderer in the town of constable. i had the chance to speak with sergeant cook and congratulate him on his great police work.
5:09 pm
he was alone when this happened. sergeant cook happens to be from troop b, which is this area. he knew the area very well. he was still alone and was a very courageous act. i said to sergeant cook, who has two daughters, 16 and 17, i said, well, you go home tonight, and tell your daughters you are a hero. with teenager girls that will probably last a good 24 hours and then you will go back to being a regular dad as i well know. this was an extraordinary situation in many ways. the prison in dannemora is over 100 years old. this is the first escape in 100 years. if you were writing a movie plot, they would say this was overdone. you had hacksaws delivered by a facilitator in ground up meat.
5:10 pm
you had two prisoners who were on the honor block. they hacksawed through the back of their cell. they got in to the account catwalks. the accountwalks took them to a labyrinth of tunnels where they came across a contractor's large tool box. one of the prisoners was a burglar, knew how to pick the lock. picked the lock repeatedly. they used those tools to do the work of breaking the pipe and cutting the chains and making way through the sewer pipe it was an extraordinary circumstance. the first escape in over 100 years. but one escape is one escape too many. we will have the ongoing investigation to find out exactly who was involved. we have two people who have been arrested for facilitation or accomplices in this situation, but the investigation is not
5:11 pm
over. now that we have mr. sweat, it gives us the opportunity to ask more questions and provide more facts on the overall situation. anyone who we find who was culpable and guilty of cooperating in this escape will be fully prosecuted. the d.a.'s have done a great job of both franklin and clinton county and i want to thank them. but we will prosecute them to the full extent of the law. if anyone else was involved we will find that. we will also conduct an investigation in to the systems in that prison. how could this happen? how did they have access to the catwalk, et cetera. there are a lot of questions to be answered and we already started a full investigation that's being headed by the inspector general of the state of new york. >> about 3:20 today, sergeant jay cook, who's assigned to troop b spent most of his career
5:12 pm
right here in sp malone, 23 year veteran. he was continuing the ground search. as he was driving down the road he spotted a male who is basically jogging up alongside the road. he approached him. as he exited the car the male turned to him. he said hey, come over here. the male ignored him. he called out to them again. at which time the male turned around like what do you want from me? and he recognized him to be david sweat. at that time, sweat turned and fled on foot with the sergeant in pursuit. at some point running across a field, he realized that sweat was going to make it to a tree line and possibly could have disappeared and he fired two shots from his service weapon, his handgun hitting sweat twice in the torso. local ems team responded and treated sweat on the scene. he was airlifted to the hospital
5:13 pm
and he's in stable condition. i would expect he's going to be moved to one of those trauma centers for further treatment. we have been in the area, as i 208d you on friday. we started at the northern border near the canadian border . this took place a mile and a half from the canadian border. our concern was they could have made it to the border and it was effective being in the right area, where sweat was i could only assume he was going for the border that he was that close and we couldn't be happier we were able to apprehend him and not lose him. it's been a long three weeks. >> it's been a long three weeks indeed. i think everyone is praising law enforcement profusely tonight for their job on this. we will take a quick break. coming up next, you will hear for the first time from david sweat's mother speaking out in tears. right after her son was captured. that's next. can a business have a mind?
5:14 pm
a subconscious. a knack for predicting the future. reflexes faster than the speed of thought. can a business have a spirit? can a business have a soul? can a business be...alive? the setting is just right. you. but here's the thing, about half of men over 40 have some degree of erectile dysfunction. well, viagra helps guys with ed get and keep an erection. and you only take it when you need it. ask your doctor if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take viagra if you take nitrates for chest pain; it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. side effects include headache,
5:15 pm
flushing, upset stomach and abnormal vision. to avoid long-term injury, seek immediate medical help for an erection lasting more than four hours. stop taking viagra and call your doctor right away if you experience a sudden decrease or loss in vision or hearing. ask your doctor about viagra. this is good, mom. "good"? (chuckles) it's delicious! and this new kibble blend is so healthy. thank you. no, nancy, thank you. kibbles 'n bits.
5:16 pm
because every bit matters. toyou use the most innovative technology available. kibbles 'n bits. to craft a more luxurious vehicle, you use the most skilled hands on earth. like ones that spend 38 days creating a lexus ls steering wheel. or 2,000 hours calibrating an available mark levinson audio system. the high-tech, handcrafted lexus ls. luxury, uncompromised. this is the pursuit of perfection. like i like my vacations: tropical. and during red lobster's island escape, three new dishes take me straight to the islands. like the ultimate island seafood feast, with crab, lobster, and jumbo shrimp. all you have to do... get here while you still can.
5:17 pm
we're continuing to follow breaking news this sunday evening. right now one of the most wanted men in america is no longer on the run. david sweat. 23 days after he and another convicted murderer broke out of prison in upstate new york he's been apprehended. all of that time david sweat only got 30 miles and almost to the canadian border. today that temporary freedom ended when he was spotted, shot arrested and taken in to custody by new york state police. one our affiliates in upstate new york found and spoke to david sweat's mother. this is the first time we have heard from her. listen. >> it felt like a weight was off my shoulder that he was captured and is alive. >> talk to me about the
5:18 pm
feelings. >> just a sigh of relief and started crying. wasn't killed. >> reporter: were you ever afraid he was going to try to come to this area? >> oh, no. my son knows if he would have came here i would have knocked him out and had them take him to jail. that's the way i am. i have always done it to him when he was bad. >> reporter: we spoke a few weeks ago. you described to me these problems with david really began at an early age. can you describe to me -- i know it is when he was 9 years old. can you describe when these problems began and what they were like? >> in the beginning, he was 9 years old and his dad bought him a busted fishing pole and tackle box that wasn't knew and he got mad and his dad said he was go to go downstairs or he was going to throw it downstairs.
5:19 pm
and he took a baseball and hoped it would hit his dad and it didn't but it broke the tv he got for his birthday. >> violence began at an early age. did he grow out of 0 it? did it get worse? what was it like. >> he always got in trouble and every time he did i would take him to the police station. one time heed a a knife in his backpack and the school called. i grabbed him by his ear from front of everybody and took him to the principal's office. i don't deal with that stuff. >> your son right now is 35, correct? >> so what do you think about what it will be like for him to go back to prison for the rest of his life? >> i don't know. i know that's where he should have stayed. if that is what he needs to do
5:20 pm
than that's what he needs to do. go back and do what he needs to do. >> have you been watching the media coverage? have you been watching the news outlets. >> no. i didn't want to. i didn't want to know. >> grieving mother there. let's talk to criminalologist casey jordan joining us. first time we have heard from her about they are son. she said if he came home she would quote knock him out. she also talked about his behavioral disturbances. >> right. i think that everyone's touched by the sincerity of what she is saying. she is in touch with how emotionally disturbed and behaviorally abhorrent her son is. she talks about the fact from the time he was 9 years old he was incorrigible. she tried to discipline him and it never worked. she is in touch with what danger
5:21 pm
he is. but she is relieved her son survived the shooting. i think all parents understand unconditional love for their children. she knows that he belongs in jail. >> when you look at the little we can glean about him from what his mother said, do you believe this is someone who will talk, who will tell the authorities all he knows, which is everything about how they got out of prison because they have said they havent interviewed him yet but plan to interrogate him. >> yes, poppy. he may be angry and incorrigible and dangerous but he's not an idiot. i think his three weeks on the lam proved that. he is organized. he likes lists. eric had been incarcerated with him at clinton and he said of the two of them, sweat and matt,
5:22 pm
it is sweat who is the articulate, smooth talking one. matt was the crazy unpredictable one. i find it interesting we want to know when they broke up or separate? i think it is shortly after they broke in to the cabin a week ago. we have one weapon that was the result of mr. matt dying yesterday or 48 hours ago. if there is only one weapon and gun between the two, think about that. do you think that david sweat is going to want to stick around with richard matt? he's in charge of the shotgun. what's to keep matt from shooting sweat? i think that he took off and what head start may have saved his life. >> casey jordan taking us in to the mind of this criminal. thank you so much for being with us. we will take a quick kw r quick break. after this.

5:26 pm
5:27 pm
shot twice in the torso by a police sergeant who spotted him walking in broad daylight a mile and a half from the canadian border. sweat was not armed. he is in stable condition. another remarkable, almost unbelievable detail. we learned police believe sweat and richard matt were using pepper shakers to cover their trail and throw police bloodhounds off of their scent. they have not been able to introduce sweat yet but plan to do so as soon as possible. here's the hero of the day. that is for sure. you see him right there. the brave state police sergeant identified as jay cook who spotted sweat on a routine patrol who took him down as he fled in a field in constable, new york. no police officers were injured in the takedown. let's go to alexandra field who's live in constable where this all happened. hi, alex. >> hey there. we know that forensic
5:28 pm
investigators are still out there in that field collecting any evidence that is relevant to this case. we spoke to a man who owns the property there. he said that investigators came to his door. they asked for permission to do a search. they are looking for items that would have belonged to david sweat. we really don't have a time line here, as far as when sweat and richard matt may have separated. all we know is sweat turned up here in con stable, some 26 miles from the spot where rich af ard matt was gunned down. poppy, we have been telling you for days about the huge law enforcement presence that descended on franklin county more than a week ago. law enforcement sources told us both men's dna had been found in a cabin near owls head. it shifted north to malone. and then a big break in the case with richard matt being shot near lake titus and david sweat ending up here near the canadian
5:29 pm
border exactly in the spot where investigators believed he would be headed. here's a little surprising that we learned this afternoon from law enforcement sources. sweat did not appear to be armed. all the law enforcement officers in the region have been operating under the assumption that he like richard matt could have been armed when they encountered him. a tremendous sigh of relief this was a safe takedown and capture of this dangerous man. meaning no law enforcement hurt, no one in the community hurt. >> absolutely. thank you so much. to you and your entire team, you have been there three weeks straight and done an extraordinary job working around the clock. >> deborah feyerick breaking news left and right on this and navy s.e.a.l. gilliam and they haven't interviewed him yet. they want to interrogate him.
5:30 pm
how do they incentivize him to talk? >> big day for law enforcement. great job. they got their person. i think this is what is going to happen. it was important that the governor said he was in stable condition. that's an important fact. you know he got shot in the the torso and worry if he is in critical condition and the like. i think as soon as he has the ability to speak they will start to ask him and provide incentive to speak. here are the incentives not to speak. from a prosecution perspective you are talking about someone in jail for life. so you say it is over. why should i speak to anyone. you can't do anything to me and no member would want you to cut a deal to have him out early. we don't want him out early. and the prison life and the niceties that we take for granted, soda, maybe food. the niceties we take for granted in prison they are significant. to the extent, poppy, that they may be able to make his life easier, a long life indeed that
5:31 pm
he will spend in jail, i think those are some of the inducements they will provide for him. second point to. this simply because he talked does not mean that everything he says is -- >> true. >> is gospel. exactly. you have to assess the reliability of that. if he has a vendetta against anyone in prison, as sometimes happens when you are in prison over a length of time. you may not like corrections officers or civilians and you may have an incentive to say things that are not true. i think they will get information provided they give insenive to speak and vet the information properly to corroborate it to see whether it is reliable. >> so many people have said even the governor is saying the press conference, you can't write a movie script like. this it would be with unbelievable. i wonder how much information, if they can interrogate him and get the information they want, how much of that do you think will be released publicly in a formal way? >> i would think a lot. once the investigation is completed, it's going to take a
5:32 pm
long time. what we saw on the ground all of those searchers that were out there, that was the physical part of the manhunt. we didn't see them going to the prison library to find out what actions these men had. we didn't see them questioning inmates to see whether a code for one inmate was used by either of these two men. the one thing they found out is they didn't have the support network they needed to have a plan "b." that's why joyce mitchell was their plan. it does appear they had additional information. they knew a member of the correction officers, it appears, did go hunting in that area. they ended up in cabins belonging to correction officers. arguably, that is the whole business up in that area. it may be a coincidence. the investigation is going to be huge. i think we will see a lot of
5:33 pm
information coming out. >> the money that funds these prisons, there was clearly a huge problem at this facility. jonathon gillom, you are there, say you are there and interrogating this guy. what's the first question you ask? >> first off, attorneys like this are going to be my biggest fear, more than getting the truth out of mr. sweat. first thing i want to do, once they get him stable is i want to create an environment that is probably completely opposite of what he's been in. he's been so stressed to where i want to create an environment where this guy thinks i'm his friend. then you can kind of introduce to him that he knows he's going back to jail. we can actually do things to help alleviate the stress. work with us and help us to clean up this picture. here's the thing i think a lot of people are missing. he may hold the key to a system that has been corrupted. i'm not saying everyone in there
5:34 pm
is corrupt but a system that's been corrupted. if there is one or more guards or employees, as we have seen, that have done things they are not supposed to, the system is corrupted. i think this is where he will be helpful and he may actually be the most helpful part of this entire investigation. >> also the former facebook agent that led the hunt for the hunt for olympic bomber eric rudolph. what do you think is the biggest bit of information we can likely get from david sweat? what's your number one question to him? >> well, i want to know, obviously a lot about the planning that led to the successful escape. then i'd like to know a bit more about how he successfully evaded for almost three weeks. finally there's a parallel between this investigation and the rudolph case. both apprehended with a single uniform police officer on patrol
5:35 pm
doing their jobs exceptionally. in the case of rudolph, young 19-year-old police officer by the name of jeff postal on routine patrol encountered him foraging for food in a dumpster. he called for backup and drew his weapon and the manhunt ended. sergeant cook, the veteran police officer doing his job as a supervisor in the perimeter, going likely from post to post checking on his guys encounters sweat this front of him. recognized who he had. sweat was not compliant. sweat took off running. only when with it became apparent he could make that tree line and continue to pose an imminent dangerous threat to other law enforcement or to society did sergeant cook draw his service weapon and drink bring this thing to an end. there is a great parallel between the investigations. >> indeed. rick, thank you very much to our

. we continue to follow the breaking news on the fact david sweat, the convicted murderer has been captured by police after 23 days on the run, shot twice in the torso. he is alive and in stable condition. take a look at this. this is a new photo just in to us here at cnn. an exclusive photo obtained by cnn of david sweat. this is only the second photo we have seen of him since he escaped from prison 23 days ago. you see him leaning over. you see multiple officers and medics around him. his shirt is off. we know now that he was shot twice in the torso. and we know he was transported to the medical center in albany for treatment but that he is in stable condition. as we continue to let you see this new photo, let's also throw up the other photo that our deborah feyerick obtained.
5:41 pm
you can see the two images side by side of sweat. as we do that, on the phone, i believe i have clinton county district attorney andrew weilly. are you there, sir? >> yes, a i am. >> what a day. what a night. thank you for being with me. appreciate you taking the time to fill in the viewers. dannemora is where the clinton county correctional facility is located. walk me through the procedure legally. what happens? >> legally we will await david sweat's medical treatment and once he's being discharged from albany medical center he will be transported back to tface the charges of escape in the first degree and a determination made as to whether he will face further criminal charges here in
5:42 pm
franklin county under acting district attorney glenn mcneil. >> he is technically, as deborah feyerick pointed out all evening he is still an inmate. i'm interested in what rights he has and how that changes the process if this was a criminal who carried out a crime and was apprehended but not one who escaped from prison. >> i'm sorry, could you repeat that? >> sure. because he is technically an inmate i wonder how that will affect what rights he has and how that changes the legal process. >> well with, the aspect of what rights he has, yes, you are correct. he is still property of the department of corrections. on his sentencing for his conviction for murder and sentenced to life without parole he will obviously remain in the custody of the department of corrections.
5:43 pm
as far -- as i indicated once he is discharged he would be returned -- in light of that we will proceed with processing and charging him in clinton county with the thes the escape and follow through with a grand jury proceeding. >> can you tell us about guards at the clinton correctional facility being questioned, the guards being questioned about conversations they had with the escapees about life outside of prison. what is the terrain is like, what might be available for them to lied and elude the authorities? >> the investigations with the correction officer that had contact with sweat and matt as well as any civilian employees
5:44 pm
at the facility that had contact with them. that will continue to be an ongoing investigation and should we have the opportunity to speak with david sweat to interview him, obtain information as to who and got information from we will follow through with those leads on the investigation relative to any other individuals that may have been involved. >> clinton county district attorney andrew wylie, appreciate you joining me on such a busy evening walking us through the legal process, what's next for david sweat. first time on the screen you are seeing the two images we have as he was apprehended in the middle of the day today in broad daylight in a field. quick break. back in a moment.
