A 16-year-old was shot in the foot during a dispute with other teens near a Queens high school Tuesday, cops said.
The boy was struck in the right foot around 2:50 p.m. roughly two blocks away from Martin Van Buren High School in Queens Village, cops said.
The wounded teenager then went to the school, where an ambulance picked him up, cops said.
Sebastian Gomez, a maintenance worker at a nearby housing complex, said he was across the street when he spotted some kid getting “jumped.”
“I saw someone pull out of a gun and shot him,” said Gomez, 40. “There were a lot of kids around, about a hundred. He got jumped by 10 or 20. It was chaos. It was crazy.”
Police said the injured child was taken to Long Island Jewish Medical Center for treatment.
It was not immediately clear if any of the teens are students at the school.
