Two 12-year-old children were shot at a Miami bus stop early Thursday after refusing to hand over their cellphones to a 16-year-old gunman, police said.

The kids were headed for school, waiting for a bus, when a young gunman strode up to them at 7:57 a.m. and demanded they give up their phones.

They refused and the teen opened fire and fled — reportedly sprinting through neighborhood backyards to escape.

Local 10 news reported Miami-Dade police shut down several blocks during their hunt for the teen shooter, who was found hiding in a nearby shed. A school in the vicinity was temporarily locked down afterward.

Both children were taken to a local hospital and were in stable condition.
