Boy, 11, shot in the arm at NYC public housing complex — near other kids as young as 6

An 11-year-old boy was shot inside a Brooklyn NYCHA building late Monday — with four other children as young as 6 nearby, cops said.

The injured child told police he was on the third floor of a Brownsville House✨s building on Howard Avenue near Atlantic Avenue around 11 p.m. when he was shot in the left forearm𝕴, authorities and law-enforcement sources said.

The boy initially said he was shot outside the building by a man wearing a hood, but that didn’t add up wꦉhen investigators followed a blood trail back upstairs to an apartment, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told reporters Tuesday.

“We believe that this possibly happened in 🅘the hallway,” Kenny said. “We’re still sorting through it. At this point, it could be accidental, it could be self-inflicted. But we’re still l🧔ooking through it.”

Several children and adults were inside the apartment, including the boy’s mom and ch♏ildren ages 6, 12, 14 and 17, Kenny said. 

“💧We’re trying to sort out whether they w♋ere playing with the gun,” he said. “Was it intentional, or was it unintended?”

A 9 mm gun was recovered, Kenny said.

The pre-teen – who lives in the Pink Houses in East New York – was tak𝔉en to Maimonides Medical Center, where he was listed in stabl🌜e condition.

The violence came weeks after a 2-year-old boy was struck in the right buttock by a stray bullet at East Fordham Road and the Grand Co🃏ncourse♋ in The Bronx.

Freddy Flores, 20, was charged with attempted murder in connecti♓on to the💎 shooting of the toddler, police said.

In early March, Tyrell Williams, 17, also was charged with murder in the deadly Bronx shooting of Laquai Dash, 17, over a social media spat bet🃏ween the high schoolers’ girlfriends🎶, authorities said.
