A 14-year-old Queens girl was shot Friday by a younger brother who was goofing around with a gun, police sources said.
Jessamin Lopez is in stable condition at Jamaica Hospital after being blasted in the abdomen by her 12-year-old brother, sources said. The bullet exited the teen’s back.
A source said the brother was only playing with the gun and did not intentionally strike his sibling.
A friend who is staying at the family’s 164th Street apartment told police she woke up to find the boy playing with a .22-caliber Colt revolver.
“She tells him, ‘What are you doing? Stop playing with the gun,’’’ a source recounted. “The boy says, ‘Don’t worry about it’ – and starts pulling the trigger.’’
The children live with their mom, Silvia Peralta, two other siblings, the mother’s boyfriend and two family friends, sources said.
The same caliber gun was used in the Jamaica neighborhood earlier this week; cops are investigating whether there is a connection.
Wall Street worker Mohammed Hamwi, 48, was shot in the head and torso just after midnight at a Jamaica Station street corner.
