Danelo Cavalcante, 34, escaped from an eastern Pennsylvania prison approximately 2 weeks ago, on August 31. The police consider him “armed and dangerous.” According to a report today from CNN, the convicted killer “stole a rifle from the garage of a local homeowner, who fired several shots at the fugitive as he fled, police said Tuesday.”
At 10:10 pm Monday night, a local resident called the police to report that Cavalcante had broken into his garage and stolen a rifle. The homeowner fired his pistol at the fugitive, but it is believed that Cavalcante was not injured by any of those shots fired. The police found the fugitive’s green sweatshirt and white tee shirt near the homeowner’s driveway.
