Earlier on Thursday, the NYPD released surveillance footage which captured the terrifying moment a group of five teenagers unleashed a barrage of bullets during a shootout outside a Bronx elementary school as the young students were about to be dismissed for the day.

The brazen gun violence broke out near the Boys Prep Bronx Elementary School on October 5 at around 2:50 pm as the students at the K-8 school were being sent home.

The NYPD shared the videos with the public asking for help in locating the unidentified individuals connected to the 'reckless endangerment incident.'
