Iurato underwent surgery for a gunshot wound and was released from the hospital on Thursday, Oct. 13, police said.
Yorktown High School Principal Joseph DeGennaro said in a Twitter post that Iurato was a "terrific" role model, standout baseball player, and "an even better person."
Iurato, who also lived in Chappaqua, was also an honor roll student, who played infield on the Yorktown HS baseball team.
