Amsterdam police say an argument between two men triggered a shooting that sent one of them to the hospital.
Officers arrived at the scene on Bunn Street Monday after getting a call about shots fired on the area. An investigation revealed 53-year-old Eugene Luicci opened fire on the 24-year-old victim, causing him to suffer a gunshot wound to the back. The victim was taken to Albany Med for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. Luicci has been charged with both assault and reckless endangerment.

The man, who is from Jiangsu province, which is northwest of Shanghai, had a fever and other symptoms and is now in stable condition. Officials said his prognosis is good, and he is expected to be released from the hospital in the coming days.
There were no other reports of infections following contract tracing and medical observation of his close contacts. It is unclear how the man contracted the virus. Most people who contract an avian flu virus work with poultry.
There are no other reports of the H10N3 strain in humans.
It is rare for avian flu viruses to jump from birds to people, but it can be deadly when it does. The H5N1 strain, which has been around since 2003, has sickened over 700 people around the world and has a mortality rate of 60%. The most recent epidemic was caused by the H7N9 strain, which killed about 300 people from 2016-2017.
