MALONE, N.Y. - Law enforcement officers on Friday shot and killed one of two prisoners who broke out of a maximum security prison in New York three weeks ago and were pursuing a second escapee near the Canadian border, authorities said.

Richard Matt, a 49-year-old convicted murderer, was killed by US Border Patrol officers after he was spotted in a wooded area in the town of Malone, the New York State Police said.

Police were still combing the vicinity for Matt's accomplice, David Sweat, a 35-year-old who was imprisoned for killing a sheriff's deputy.
