KINGSTON – Despite an announced enhanced police presence in Kingston following several acts of violence in recent weeks, there was more gunfire on Wednesday morning.
Police said at around 9:25 a.m., a shot was fired during a confrontation between several individuals in the area of Henry and Pine streets. This was not a random incident, investigators said.
There were no reports of injuries.
The incident is being investigated by Kingston Police, State Police, and the Ulster County Sheriff’s Office.
Police are asking the public’s assistance in helping identify those responsible. Anyone with information is asked to call them at 845-331-1671 or leave an anonymous message on the tipline at 845-331-4499.
This is the latest in a recent rash of violence in the city that has prompted a joint effort by several law enforcement agencies to put a lid on the criminal activity.
