Kid’s bogus shoot ’fess

15-year-old likely just wanted ‘street cred’

A 15-year-old boy gave cops a false confession following two recent Queens shootings, law-enforcement sources told The Post on Wednesday.

And the bogus claim of responsibility may have been motivated by a desire for “street cred,” sources said.

Despite being cleared in the shootings, the unidentified teen was charged with robbery in an unrelated case that’s going to be handled in Family Court, NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea said. Sources said the teen appeared to be “crazy” and a “kook.”

The teen turned himself in at the 113th Precinct in Jamaica on Tuesday morning and was moved to the 107th Precinct in Flushing — where he was questioned after a guardian arrived Tuesday night, sources said.

The teen told detectives that he was the gunman in at least one of the incidents, but an investigation proved otherwise, sources said.

The teen surrendered after the NYPD circulated videos and images of three “persons of interest” in a Monday afternoon shooting that wounded 16-year-old Ashley

Amoorgan outside the New Dawn Charter HS II in Jamaica, sources have said.

Investigators have linked Amoorgan’s shooting to Saturday’s slaying of 14-year-old Aamir “Buddy” Griffin, who was shot in the neck while playing basketball at the Baisley Park Houses in Jamaica, Shea said.

Both victims were struck by stray bullets in an ongoing rash of violence between two rival groups of gun-toting teens, Shea said.

One group is composed of members of the Mac Baller Brims street gang, sources said.

Amoorgan’s mom said the teen, who remained hospitalized, was afraid to return to school.

“She is crying and scared,” Samantha Singh said. “Maybe we will home-school now.”

Singh also said doctors were waiting to see if the slug that’s lodged in her daughter’s left shoulder started to move — and potentially puncture a major artery nearby — before deciding whether to remove it, she said.

Mayor de Blasio and NYPD Commissioner James O’Neill have both visited the teen’s bedside, family lawyer Brian Levy said.
