A 13-year-old girl was shot in the shoulder by a stray bullet while she was sitting on a bench near a Brooklyn park, police said.

The teen was sitting on Herkimer Street near St. Andrew Place in Bedford-Stuyvesant soon before 8 p.m. when shots rang out, cops said.

She was hit in the shoulder and rushed to Kings County Hospital, where she was expected to recover, police said.

She is not believed to be the intended target of the shooting, a police source said.

The shooting was the 11th time an innocent bystander has been shot on city streets since the beginning of June.

No arrests have been made and police are investigating the shooting, authorities said.
