Two teens, 15 and 17, and a security guard, 37, are injured after shooting near Brooklyn high school

Two teenagers and a security guard have been injured after a shooting near a high school in Brooklyn, New York, on Wednesday afternoon.

The incident took place at around 2:04pm at Williamsburg Charter High School on Varet Street, the FDNY said. 

Three people were taken to local hospitals and are in stable condition. The victims include a 15-year-old girl and 17-year-old boy, who were each struck in the thigh. 

A 37-year-old male security guard also suffered a graze wound to his neck, the NYPD said. 

The FBI was at the scene investigating, with no reports of any arrests as of yet. 

At least three people are injured at a shooting near a high school in Williamsburg, Brooklyn on Wednesday afternoon

The incident took place at around 2:04 p.m. at Williamsburg Charter High School on Varet Street, the FDNY said

The school - a community charter high school serving 963 students grades nine through 12 in the greater Brooklyn community - has been cordoned off by the police.

A mother who went to pick up her son at the school briefly spoke to DailyMail.com. She stated it is not the first time it has happened and it is a dangerous area. She declined to give her name.

'I was in my car, waiting for my son to get out of school. I usually park in the street just to wait and all of a sudden, I see a group of kids, maybe seven, come out. They turn the block, they go to the school, they come out, walking fast.'

She then describes one of the security guards shooing the kids away before - after about two minutes - they came back, one of them carrying what she described as a log or a pipe.  

'They ran towards somebody in the middle of an intersection and then you just heard three or four shots,' she said.

She said that she knew something was going to happen, but not to that extent, assuming it would just be some sort of fist fight.  

This is the second shooting near a school in Williamsburg in the last three days.

On Monday at around 3 p.m., two teenagers were injured in a shooting that police said stemmed from an after school fight, according to WABC.

Police said a 18-year-old boy was grazed by a bullet near the head and a 17-year-old girl was shot in the abdomen on Maujer Street, less than a mile north of Williamsburg Charter High School.  

The shooting happened near a campus on Bushwick Avenue that holds three different high schools - Progress High School, East Williamsburg Scholars Academy and the High School for Enterprise Business and Technology.

A spokesperson for the NYPD told DailyMail.com no arrests had been made in connection to the shooting. 

Neighbor Keyshia Srmemore told the station that teenagers act like they own the place when they come to the apartment complex. 

There have been multiple shootings at New York City schools in recent weeks

'They're fighting, they're smoking, I told the school safety they're here smoking - now they're being shot? They'll be on the roof.'

Police did not say what caused the fight or who was in possession of a gun. 

In mid-January, two teenagers were shot by a 13-year-old outside of a high school in Queens.

The shooting was the result of a fight that got out of hand, according to PIX11 News. 

The shooter - who was not identified due to his age - was charged with four counts of assault, two counts of reckless endangerment and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon. 

The victims were a 15-year-old girl and a 17-year-old boy who were each struck in the thigh

The third victim was a 37-year-old male security guard who suffered a graze wound to his neck, the NYPD said

The incident is still under investigation and no arrests have been made, according to police

The two victims - a boy and a girl - were taken to a local hospital with injuries to their right leg and right ankle, respectively. Police listed them in stable condition. 

While shooting victims are down 36 percent (25 vs. 16 in 2022) in New York City through the first five weeks of 2023, overall crime remains up 4.3 percent.

At the time of that shooting, the city's Department of Education released a statement. 

'Our schools are safe havens for our children, and there is no higher priority than their safety and well-being,' they said. 

'Following a non-school-related shooting that occurred after school and off-campus, two injured students returned to the school, where our outstanding school leaders, guidance counselors and NYPD School Safety Agents provided essential and immediate supports and aid.'

Police previously said that shootings involving young people surged in 2022.
