A 29-year-old mom was grazed by a bullet that whizzed through the window of her Brooklyn home Tuesday morning — just as she was getting ready to see her daughter off to school, cops and the victim said.
In a phone conversation with The Post, the woman said she was grabbing her daughter’s book bag to put snacks in it at around 7 or 7:15 a.m. when the shooting started.
“I hugged my daughter. I put her on the floor and I lay on top of her. I was scared,” the distraught mother said.
The woman heard three shots, and then realized that she’d been hit.
Police said a single round — fired from outside — struck the woman’s right leg and also grazed her left arm as she stood on the ground floor of her home on East 102nd Street near Flatlands Avenue in Canarsie.
She suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was brought to the Kings County Hospital Center, where cops later interviewed her.
“I’m feeling okay,” she told The Post Tuesday afternoon, noting that her daughter was “OK” and had taken the bus to school after the harrowing incident.
“I don’t know who did this,” she said, adding that she was afraid to go home.
Video obtained by investigators showed a man in a black jacket with a red hood and gray pants squeezing off several rounds at the first and second floor of the home, according to law enforcement sources.
He ran off through an alleyway before jumping into a parked gray SUV and driving away on East 103rd Street, toward Avenue J, the sources said.
Sources said the woman’s ex-boyfriend is a member of the Brooklyn-based Woo Gang, and that investigators believe she could have been targeted due to her connection to him.
The woman was left with a bullet lodged in her right thigh, according to the sources.
Two bullet holes could be seen in the ground-floor window of her home in the aftermath of the shooting. At least five bullet holes were also found in the window on the second floor, the sources added.
In a separate act of gun violence about two hours earlier – two men were shot, one fatally, in Hollis, Queens, cops said.
The men, 31 and 32, were both blasted in the torso at the corner of 199th Street and Hollis Avenue around 5 a.m., police said.
The younger man — who was not immediately identified, pending family notification — was taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, authorities said.
The older man was listed in stable condition at North Shore University Hospital, cops said.
No arrests have been made, and the motive for the violence was under investigation.
