Terrified residents of a small upstate New York town grabbed their shotguns Tuesday after the two killers who staged a dramatic escape from a nearby state prison were tracked to their burg.

They armed themselves even as legions of cops and corrections officers descended on tiny Willsboro, N.Y. in hot pursuit of escaped convicts Richard Matt and David Sweat.

“My husband I both have conceal carry (licenses) and we have our guns loaded and they’re here in the house,” said Teresa Sayward, a former Republican Assemblywoman whose farm is located near where the wanted men were spotted. “Hopefully we won’t have to use them.”

Sayward said cops grilled them about hunting trails and turkey blinds that the escapees from the Clinton Correctional Facility could use for shelter.

IMO they are lost and don’t have a clue where they are at.
They certainly cant go to a McD’s or get on the road and stick out their thumb and the power tools they had won’t provide them with food or water so they are essentially they are screwed and will soon get desperate at some poor families or slobs expense.
They have nothing to loose

Now they are on the loose and could very well kill again.

Actually, I think it's likely they may take hostages.

They don’t or didn’t have any guns but from all the postings it sounds like they won’t have any problem finding a home with guns in it so stay vigilant all you in the danger zone.
