The security guard wounded in a shooting — that also injured two teens — outside a Brooklyn high school was trying to break up a fight when he was grazed by a bullet in the neck, police sources said Thursday.

The 37-year-old private security guard — who is employed by Williamsburg Charter High School — told investigators that he was making his rounds during Wednesday afternoon dismissal when he spotted a large fight at the corner of Varet and White streets, the sources said.

He stepped in — and even held back someone involved in the melee — when he heard gunfire and realized that he had been struck by a stray round, according to the sources.

Shocking footage from the scene — taken by a student and provided to Fox 5 reporter Linda Schmidt — shows a group of kids throwing punches in the street before at least four shots ring out.

I bet AOC could have peacefully resolved this disagreement among her constituents.

How sad. I grew up in Brooklyn. Bensonhurst and Midwood. They were nice neighborhoods back then.

Just looked up the school. There’s a nice graph called ‘Student Diversity’: 34% black, 61% Hispanic, and 1% white. So it is very ‘diverse’.
