Cops busted the woman who opened fire on a Bronx bodega worker — apparently without provocation, last week, authorities said. 

Police arrested Jackelyn Classen, 40, near her Longwood home just after 8 p.m. Monday, after receiving tips that she was the suspect who shot at the employee in the nearby Sammy’s Deli and Grill on Thursday, police said. 

The victim, a 40-year-old man, was behind the counter of the deli on Westchester Avenue near Faile Street around 1 a.m. when Classen allegedly walked in, pointed a gun at him and fired multiple times.

The video clip shows the victim attempting to duck out of Classen’s line of fire. 

The worker told police he did not know the shooter, who is shown squeezing off a final shot as she opened the door to leave.

The victim was not hurt, but the discharged rounds damaged the store’s counter and ceiling, according to cops.
