Investigators are looking into whether civilian employees or outside contractors helped two murderers obtain the power tools they used to break out of a maximum-security prison near the Canadian border, New York's governor said June 8.

Officials said David Sweat, 34, and Richard Matt, 48, cut through steel walls and sliced through steel pipes while making their breakout, which guards discovered early June 6.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he would be shocked if a prison guard was involved. (AP)
