The teen transported himself to Kings County Hospital to be treated for the gunshot wound to his right leg where authorities questioned him about the incident, police said.

The boy was reluctant to give details about shooting other than he heard gunshots fired and was then struck around 7:40 p.m. at Ocean Avenue Drive and East Lake Drive, according to officials.

His injuries were non-life-threatening, the NYPD added. The investigation remains ongoing.
