WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A shooter opened fire and injured one person outside a West Palm Beach elementary school Wednesday afternoon — just as kids were being let out for the day, according to reports.

Cops rushed to the scene at 21st Street and Spruce Avenue in the neighborhood of Pleasant City at 2:30 p.m. after witnesses reported hearing gunshots, according to information from the West Palm Beach Police Department.

The shots rang out right as kids were being dismissed from nearby Pleasant City Elementary School, reports said.

“We heard shots and we just got down, not knowing which direction anything was coming from. I was nervous and scared, I panicked,” Sierra Jones, who was picking up her child from school, told WPEC-TV.

“Oh my god. I’m not coming back down here anymore. It was too close,” crossing guard Lynette Wester, 60, told the Post.

Wester crawled under her red Chevy sedan to hide as she heard a volley of 27 shots, she said. Five bullets struck her car, she said.

One person was injured during the shooting, the West Palm Beach Police Department tweeted.

Students were rushed back inside when the shots began, and no students were injured, a school district spokeswoman told the Palm Beach Post.
