A pair of 16-year-olds were busted for bringing a gun into a Brooklyn school Thursday — as student violence explodes across the Big Apple.
The boy and girl duo were caught passing the weapon while sitting inside a classroom in Metropolitan Diploma Plus High School at 985 Rockaway Avenue around 12:45 p.m. in Brownsville, according to sources and authorities.
Police said the boy took the gun out of a backpack and handed it to the girl.
