Eight people, including four kids, were sH๏τ as they enjoyed a 4th of July night out to watch some fireworks in Brooklyn Saturday — leaving cops to rush to the scene and carry the young victims to safety in their arms, according to sources and video.

The sH๏τs rang out at about 10:35 p.m. at 2930 W. 30th St. near Surf Ave in Coney Island, not far from the boardwalk where a fireworks display had been set for 9:45 p.m., police say.

Detectives and police swarmed the scene outside the Seapark Apartments, and were seen on video running down the street carrying young victims to get medical care.

Eight people sH๏τ — including four children — when gunfire erupted as they were out to watch 4th of July fireworks near the waterfront in Brooklyn on Saturday night. 

“When I see in the camera I see the cops running with the kids in their hands,” a deli worker on the corner told the Post.

“When I went out I saw one kid was going into the ambulance and I was told there were four inside.”

It was not clear how many gunmen there were or why the sH๏τs were fired, but residents said the block is known for violence.

“It’s so sad they won’t enjoy themselves without them killing each other. This building is always partying. I came home to have fun and now this. This building always has some trouble,” said a resident of the area who identified herself as Mackenzie.
