A teenager was shot Friday afternoon in Brooklyn, the second such shooting in the borough in less than a week.
Cops responding to a call about the shooting just after 1 p.m. at Neptune Avenue and Ocean Parkway and Brighton Beach found the victim wounded. He is expected to survive and is believed to be a student at Lincoln High School.
"Following a non-school related incident in the community, this school went into a shelter-in, which has now been lifted," a Department of Education spokesperson said.
No other information was immediately available on the circumstances.

Earlier this week, a 15-year-old boy was shot in the stomach in a downtown Brooklyn park minutes after leaving his school. He was pronounced dead at a hospital a short time later.
