When my husband heard about the pepper, he roared and said that was straight out of 'Cool Hand Luke' with Paul Newman (1967).

I read up a bit on medical status (edit: only a bit; I'm not at all an expert), and apparently "critical" isn't always as immediately life-threatening as the public perception of the word is. Also, sometimes when a patient is moved from one hospital to another (or looked at by different doctors) the patient's medical status may officially change while in reality he has not become any better or worse off.
You are correct Dreamwanderer.I read up a bit on medical status (edit: only a bit; I'm not at all an expert), and apparently "critical" isn't always as immediately life-threatening as the public perception of the word is.

I am so glad that they got him and it's no longer a concern. Good job LE. :seeya:
I have been following along with this I promise. I didn't miss it!
I had some final baby prep to do today and I had to go pick up some things.
But I have been here, no more in labor than yesterday. :baby:
Still hoping that he will stay put at least another 10 days or longer. :baby:
I promise I will leave a note when I head to the hospital. I won't leave you all hanging.
If I disappear just check my recent posts and you'll find an update, I promise! :seeya:
One would assume that, yes. Did you watch the presser? The doctor began by saying a decision regarding surgery is premature.
""I hope he will be OK and he just stays there where he belongs," she said. "I have always told my kids you do the crime you do the time." She said David had often given her trouble while he was growing up.

Pamela Sweat said she always wanted to see her son while he was in prison, but could not make the drive because of injuries.
If she could speak to her son now, she said, she knows what she would say.
"I love you," she said. "I always have and I always will. If I can see you, I will.""

It was stated in the media by AP News, Saracuse.com news and a few others 2 days ago on June 26, 2015 at 6:59 PM that the Border Patrol Officer is from Vermont.--PS. Vermont State Police issued a statement praising NY LE for their work and not mentioning their own. That's Vermont.The officer who took Matt down was 100%, for a fact, Vermont LE working Border Patrol (my SIL is Vermont LE....horse's mouth, so to speak). Given all those joining forces to help out, it could have ended up being any one from a lot of places, but....it wasn't. Good job, VT LE.
Saracuse.com said:MALONE, N.Y. (AP) One of two convicted murderers who staged a brazen escape from an upstate maximum-security prison three weeks ago was shot and killed Friday in a gunbattle with law enforcement officers in a wooded area about 30 miles from the prison, and the other is on the run.
U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, who was briefed by the U.S. Border Patrol and U.S. Marshals Service, said Richard Matt was fatally shot by a Border Patrol agent from Vermont. Officers are trucking in floodlights to where David Sweat is believed to be hiding, not far from where Matt was killed.
they said EMTs, radiologists, trauma doctors, vascular surgeons, critical care doctors are all working on him.
I bet one shot was close to the heart. JMO
So relieved for the people in the area that they can finally get back to their normal routines without having to worry about being ambushed by these two! Congratulations and good job LE! What would we do without you?
So many victims, including his family. As soon as the pic of him shot was published, I thought of his Mom. As a parent you flash back to the day your son was born and was so loved. When they are suffering, you feel their pain no matter how they turned out later in life. He is still her baby. I have a son who is 37 and never in trouble with the law, however, I think he is kind of an axxhole, but if I saw him in that picture, it would kill me..
Are you kidding? How was it a good job after 3 weeks? I'd say the two escapees did a better job staying away from the 1000 or so LE after them.

I was thinking maybe they hit a lung...?

It all seems so easy sitting behind a computer screen.
Appears to be one of the first photos of Sweat after his capture, perhaps before emergency personal arrived.
