A gunman opened fire on a group of teenagers filming a rap video in Marine Park on Tuesday night.

The shooter fired several rounds from a black SUV as the teens filmed their music video in front of an Avenue S candy store near E. 36th Street at 7:40 p.m., according to police.

No one was injured as a result of the drive by shooting, although a car parked nearby was damaged in the attack, cops said.

Marine Parkers took to Facebook to discuss the shooting, where a witness claims one of the teen rappers returned fire.

“Looks like one of the kids on the scene with the video actually returned fire. White car fleeing was related to video folks while black SUV was instigator of shots fired. Both cars ended up boxing in bus on either side before fleeing. It’s lucky no one was injured thankfully,” Kathy LaSorsa wrote on the “You’re Probably from Marine Park Brooklyn if…” Facebook group.

No arrests have been made in the case, which remains ongoing, cops said.

The Marine Park drive-by follows a mass shooting Saturday night that left one man dead and 11 injured in Brownsville.
