TOWN OF NEWBURGH — A man is dead after he was shot Monday evening by a fellow hunter in the woods, Newburgh police said.

Town of Newburgh police Chief Michael Clancy said two men were hunting deer with rifles at about 5 p.m. in the woods west of Forest Road, near Cronk Road, when one shot the other in the shoulder. Police and EMS responded and a state police helicopter was called to help in the search, but the man died of his wounds at the scene.

Clancy said one man was from Newburgh and the other from Plattekill, but further details were unavailable.
The hunter was questioned by police but no arrests have been made. The investigation is ongoing.
