New York State Police Superintendent Joseph D'Amico, left, speaks during a news conference as New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo listens, following the capture of fugitive David Sweat on Sunday, June 28, 2015, in Malone, N.Y.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was just one of the many to tweet about the relief felt last night after a state trooper finally captured David Sweat, one of two convicted killers who escaped from a maximum-security prison upstate more than three weeks ago.

Inmate Richard Matt was killed by law enforcement on Friday.

Brian Mann, North Country Public Radio’s Adirondack bureau chief, joined VPR to talk more about the aftermath of the manhunt.
