Pennsylvania schools close as law enforcement continues manhunt for escaped killer

Multiple schools in Pennsylvania have closed Tuesday as authorities hunt a convicted killer who has been on the run since escaping from prison last week.

Cops say Cavalcante escaped from Chester State Prison on Thursday morning. He is originally from Brazil, where he is also wanted for homicide, and is allegedly in the United States illegally. 

"It’s important we keep pressure on him as we continue this hunt," Bivens said, adding that residents and school officials were notified of the search area expanding to the south.
