Midday Roundup: Second fugitive captured alive in New York

Finally found. The 22-day manhunt for escaped murderer David Sweat ended Sunday when a New York State Police sergeant shot and apprehended him just 2 miles from the Canadian border. Sgt. Jay Cook saw the convict walking on the side of a road near Constable, N.Y., and began chasing him. As Sweat approached a tree line, Cook realized the convict was about to disappear into the woods and shot him twice. Police captured Sweat alive. “The nightmare is finally over,” New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said at a press conference. Police shot and killed fellow fugitive Richard Matt on Friday, but Sweat got away. The investigation will now turn to filling in the details of how the two orchestrated their escape from a maximum-security prison.

Unpaid bills. U.S. stocks fell early Monday as Greece’s debt woes took a toll on financial markets. Over the weekend, European countries refused to extend the country’s bailout program, which expires Tuesday. In response, the government has limited daily cash withdrawals from banks to 60 euros—about $67—per account. Meanwhile, the governor of Puerto Rico warned the U.S. island cannot pay its $72 billion public debt. Legislators there meet this week to approve a budget and try to find a solution to the looming debt crisis. Defaulting on the debt would require amending the Puerto Rican constitution, and declaring bankruptcy would require special approval from the U.S. government.

Deal breaker? Tomorrow is the self-imposed deadline for the United States and its negotiating partners to reach a deal with Iran to give up its nuclear weapons program. But it looks now like that deadline will come and go without an agreement. The Obama administration said negotiators will stay in Vienna past the Tuesday deadline. Gen. Michael Hayden, former director of the NSA and the CIA, said that’s not a good sign. “I actually fear that the Iranians have the upper hand right now. I actually fear we have painted ourselves into a corner where we believe that any deal is better than no deal,” Hayden said. Secretary of State John Kerry was in Vienna over the weekend trying to move the talks along.

Crash and burn. Aerospace company SpaceX faced disappointment Sunday when one of its unmanned rockets exploded shortly after liftoff from Cape Canaveral, Fla. The rocket was on a resupply mission to the International Space Station. NASA said the loss of the supplies poses no danger to the astronauts or the space station. The cause of the explosion is unknown.
