School officials and police say an 18-year-old high school athlete has died after he was shot in a Hudson Valley city.
Poughkeepsie City School District board of education officials have confirmed a Poughkeepsie High School student who was on the varsity basketball team has died. His name hasn't been released by the school or police.
