A gunman shot two teenagers in broad daylight at a Williamsburg apartment complex on Monday afternoon. 

One bullet grazed a 19-year-old male in the head, while another hit a 17-year-old girl in the chest just after 3 p.m. at 198 Maujer St.  

Paramedics rushed to the scene and transported the male victim to Elmhurst Hospital, while taking the young woman to Kings County Hospital. 

Both victims are in stable condition, and are expected to make a full recovery. 

No arrests have yet been made in the case, and the investigation remains ongoing, according to the NYPD. 

Monday’s shooting occurred just a block away from the Grand Street Campus, which houses three high schools.
