Update: Two Charged in Poughkeepsie Hotel Shooting

Two Dutchess County men have been charged in Tuesday's hotel shooting in the Town of Poughkeepsie.

On Tuesday, Town of Poughkeepsie Police responded to a shooting that took place at the Poughkeepsie Inn on South Road.

The victim was shot in the leg and transported to Mid-Hudson Regional Hospital for non-life threatening injuries.

Two suspects were detained after a brief area search. Both were subsequently charged with five counts of robbery in the first degree, all felonies.

The initial investigation revealed that the defendants were known to the victim and witnesses, and the shooting was not an act of random violence.
