The mother of the boy , a 14-year-old boy who was shot in the face outside his Brooklyn high school, told The Post Tuesday that it could happen to anyone.

According to the 50-year old mom, the bullet hit him in the ankle at Fulton Street and Utica Avenue.

“I’m just speechless because there are so many guns on the street and I don’t know what the solution is,” the mom said, as the city grapples with a nearly 15 percent uptick in shootings as of Sunday compared to last year, according to the latest NYPD data.

“Sometimes, the situation seems hopeless. I’m a positive person and I don’t like to see the situation as hopeless. It happened to my son. It could happen to anyone.”

She said that doctors removed the bullet from her son’s ankle and that one of his bones had been broken. The teenager, who played basketball, was sent home Monday night in a cast with crutches.

“But it could have been worse,” the mom continued. “We’re holding onto the fact that he did not die. My son just started at the school. He was just going to the train station to go home”

Sources claimed that the teen was part of a group who had been in a fight with another crowd when shots were fired.

There have been no arrests.

“I hope that they catch whoever did this and that he’s taken off the street,” the mom said. “They’re destroying real lives. My son could have been killed.”

Meanwhile, the NYPD released images and a video Tuesday showing the two young gunmen wanted in connection with the shooting, cops said.

One of the suspects is seen in these photos, dressed in an orange coat and dark pants and opening fire in broad-daylight chaos. The other is also wearing dark clothes and pointing a gun.

Cops described the gunmen to be two men between 16 and 18 years old.

Nobody else was hurt.

“It feels hopeless because the same community that is supposed to help raise your son is getting so out of hand that you don’t feel safe in the street or near a school,” the mom said.

“There was a cop car right there on the street. I’m just saying it feels hopeless when it comes to gun violence in the street.”

The mom said her son was “a good student” — and she was sympathetic toward the shooter, to a point.

“I feel sorry for him because he doesn’t have the right guidance,” she said. “But my son is the one who was in the hospital and his father and I are going through it with him.”
