A massive manhunt for murderers Richard Matt and David Sweat appeared to be coming to an end Friday.
Richard Matt was shot dead by a federal officer early Friday afternoon as he approached authorities with a shotgun.
Officials then tracked Sweat and closed in on him over the next few hours. CNN reported around 7:30 p.m. ET that authorities were "right on top" of him as nightfall approached.
But at a news conference around 8:45 p.m., Gov. Andrew Cuomo said authorities were not sure where Sweat was located.
