A 13-year-old boy has been charged for allegedly striking two other teens when he opened fire during a melee near a Queens high school, police said Thursday.
The teen — whose name was not released because he is a minor — was charged with assault, criminal possession of a weapon and reckless endangerment over the Wednesday shooting that wounded a 16-year-old girl and 14-year-old boy outside Campus Magnet High School in Cambria Heights .
The girl was struck in the ankle and the boy in the leg during the mayhem that ensued at a bus stop outside the school at around 4:50 p.m., cops said.
The victims, who are students at the school, were each taken to local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.
Sources said police saw the young shooter drop a gun as he tried to run away from the scene. The weapon was later recovered by cops.
