The convicted murderer who escaped from a Pennsylvania prison last month allegedly broke into a home Monday night and was shot seven times by the homeowner after stealing a rifle, according to a report.
State police warned that Danelo Cavalcante may now be armed after he reportedly fled with a .22-caliber rifle he stole from the home, according to Fox 29 Philadelphia.
Cavalcante was seen in East Nantmeal Township, where the homeowner shot someone matching his description, Action News reported.
The man who fit the profile of the prisoner fled and it is not clear if he was caught, as no blood was found at the scene, according to local broadcaster ABC.
Hundreds of police, including SWAT officers in armored trucks, flooded the neighborhood after a helicopter spotted the dangerous fugitive in South Coventry Township.

Investigators searching the site of the confirmed sighting found shoes they believe may belong to Cavalcante, according to the local report.
Pennsylvania State Police ordered residents of South Coventry, West Vincent and East Nantmeal townships to shelter in place using a reverse 911 call.
State police warned that the killer was possibly armed with a gun and asked locals to lock their doors and windows, secure their vehicles and stay in their homes under emergency alert.

Authorities advised residents not to approach the unpredictable criminal and to call 911 if they see him.
Cavalcante, 34, may have been able to steal a .22 rifle from the armed homeowner’s home before he was possibly shot, according to Action News.
The 5-foot-tall killer escaped from prison on Aug. 31, just a week after he was given a life sentence for fatally stabbing his ex-girlfriend. He made the daring escape by crab-walking up a wall and running across the prison roof to freedom.
On Sunday, police released new images of Cavalcante in which he apparently changed his appearance by shaving his beard and changing his clothes.
