Here are some stories making headlines across the Hudson Valley.
The New Rochelle Police Department is clearing all officers of any wrongdoing following a deadly shooting.  An internal investigation found none of the officers involved in Kamal Flowers' death violated any department policies or procedures. The 24-year-old victim was fatally shot after police say he pointed a gun at an officer last June. A handgun was recovered at the scene.
A Hastings-on-Hudson man has been sentenced to one year behind bars for a deadly hit-and-run crash. Johnny Machado admitted to hitting 91-year-old Rocco DePaolo. DePaolo was struck and killed in 2019 while walking home from a high school football game on Route 9 in Dobbs Ferry .
An Orange County man will spend five years in prison for threatening to shoot up Washingtonville High School in 2018. Authorities say Brendan Vaughan, of Campbell Hall, created a “kill list” and visited a website to buy a gun. Officials say he made another kill list in 2019 that included family members, classmates, and the prosecutor assigned to his case.
