In Yonkers, police received reports just after 9 p.m. on Saturday of shots being fired in the area of Doyle Park on Ashburton Avenue.

The victim was treated for his injury and remains in stable condition as detectives continue their investigation.
In Poughkeepsie, on Saturday at around 10:20 p.m., police received 911 calls about shots fired in the area of 472 Main St., near the Kennedy Fried Chicken restaurant. Police found a 55-year-old Poughkeepsie man with gunshot wounds. The victim was taken to MidHudson Regional Hospital, where he later died.
