'Shawshank' escapee in critical condition after being shot twice by state trooper: Killer fighting for his life after being cornered by local veteran who spotted him JOGGING along the Canadian border
David Sweat was shot twice in the back after a veteran police officer saw him jogging down a road
Sgt Jay Cook got out his car to question the man, realized it was Sweat, Sweat broke into a run, Cook opened fire
Sweat is in a critical condition. He was wearing head-to-toe camouflage, was found two miles from Canadian border
He was taken to the small Alice Hyde Medical Center, then put in an ambulance bound for Albany for surgery
Local residents cheered as the ambulance drove off. One woman cheered: 'We got you b*****d!'
He has been on the run for 23 days. He has been alone since his fellow fugitive Richard Matt was shot dead on Friday
Police now believe Matt and Sweat were using pepper from pepper shakers to throw dogs off their scent
'The nightmare is finally over,' Gov Andrew Cuomo said as he praised 'tough' New Yorkers
