There are multiple reports that Richard Matt, one of the two convicted murderers who broke out of Clinton Correctional Facility at the start of the month, has been fatally shot by police. Police sources tell the Daily Beast that Matt was shot in the vicinity of Lake Titus, NY, one of the areas police have been canvassing in recent weeks while searching for the men.

The Times confirms that Matt was shot. The Buffalo News reports that Matt was killed. We'll update as we learn more information.

Earlier today, cops said they had found Matt’s DNA in a cabin in Malone that showed signs of intrusion. Both Matt and David Sweat's DNA was also found in a hunting camp in Mountain View, about 13 miles south of Malone, last week. Cops concluded that the two men were still together and headed toward Canada.

"We have developed evidence in our search area that the suspects may be headed toward Canada," Maj. Charles Guess of the State Police told reporters. "That evidence is still being investigated by our laboratory. But based upon what we know at this point we have a high degree of confidence in our conclusion." Guess added that more than 1,100 law enforcement officers are involved in the search.
