61ds agoPoughkeepsie High School remains
closed today after gunshots were fired near the school on Monday.
In a letter to the community, the
district is planning to have more police at the school and hire additional
safety staff.
A scheduled half-day of classes was
canceled yesterday as well.
City of Poughkeepsie police say
they took in a 13-year-old boy that had an unloaded firearm in the area
of Daniels Court, where a witness said the shooter ran to. The teen now faces
gun charges.
A neighbor says they heard the
moment shots were fired. "We all heard the shots. We all looked out the
window. 10 minutes later you see the streets got blocked off. It's just a
surprise…a shock. I mean it's so close to kids," says Brian Zarate, of
Poughkeepsie.
