Poughkeepsie High School building leadership followed safety procedures ensuring students and staff, still onsite, were secure using the district protocol for Hold in Place, school officials say.

Police and school officials will continue to talk until more information about the shooting is learned.

"District and Poughkeepsie Police Department leadership are in communication and will continue engagement until the magnitude of the incident that took place on Forbus Street is better understood," the Poughkeepsie City School District stated.

As a precaution, while the investigation into the shooting continues, Poughkeepsie High School students were told to not report for the half-day of instruction that was scheduled for Tuesday.

Parent-Teacher Conferences scheduled for Tuesday have been postponed.

Building and District leadership is set to meet Tuesday morning to discuss the incident, identify additional procedures to further protect the entire school community, and develop a plan to support those adversely impacted by the incident, officials say.

More updates are expected on Tuesday.

In early October, a Poughkeepsie elementary school bus full of children was reportedly the target of gunshots near Poughkeepsie High School.
