A convicted killer who was released 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 reports.
State police are warning that Danelo Cavalcante may now be armed after he reportedly fled with a .22 caliber rifle he seized from a home, according to Fox 29 Philadelphia.
Cavalcante was spotted in East Nantmeal Township, where a homeowner shot someone matching his description, Action News reported.
The man who fit the profile of the inmate ran away and it was unclear if he was beaten, as no blood was found at the scene, according to the local ABC station.
Hundreds of police – including SWAT officers in armored trucks – flooded the neighborhood after a helicopter spotted a dangerous fugitive in South Coventry Township.

Investigators searching for the confirmed discovery location found shoes they believe may have belonged to Cavalcante, according to local reports.
Pennsylvania State Police ordered residents of South Coventry, West Vincent and East Nantmeal townships to shelter in place via a reverse 911 call.
State police warned that the killer may be armed and asked local residents to lock their doors and windows, secure their vehicles, and stay indoors on emergency alert.

Authorities are advising 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 homeowner’s home before he might have been shot, according to Action News.
The 5-foot-tall killer escaped from prison on August 31 just a week after he was sentenced to life in prison for the fatal stabbing of his ex-girlfriend.
He made a daring escape by climbing the wall and running across the roof of the prison to freedom.
On Sunday, police released new images of Cavalcante in which he appears to have changed his appearance by shaving off his beard and changing his clothes.
