The teenage gunman who allegedly opened fire on a crowded ice-skating rink over a pricey jacket — hitting two people, including a boy who may never walk again — was all smiles and swear words as cops hauled him from a police precinct Monday.
“F— all you ni–as! It wasn’t over a jacket, it was over your mother, ni–a!,” a beaming 16-year-old Corey Dunton yelled at photographers outside the police Manhattan Midtown South police precinct.
Dunton told Bryant Park ice skaters to get out of the way before opening fire at the man whose pricey parka he coveted Saturday night, NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly said Monday.
Alleged shooter Corey Dunton, 16, demanded that Javier Contreras, 20, hand over his $680 Marmot-brand coat, to which Contreras “obviously says, ‘No,’ ” Kelly said.
“There was then another skating session when the victim was on the ice, but not the shooter,” Kelly told reporters before the start of the Veterans Day parade in Manhattan.
“The shooter calls him over to the side where he actually clears people away from the line of fire and he fires eight shots at the individual that was struck.”
In addition to hitting Contreras in the hand and hip, a stray bullet struck 14-year-old skater Adonis Mera (inset) in the back, possibly leaving him paralyzed from the waist down.
Cops “have witnesses who are able to identify the shooter,” Kelly said, and a source said Dunton — who’s charged with attempted murder and other crimes — was picked out of two lineups.
