Eight people, including four kids, were shot as they enjoyed a 4th of July night out to watch some fireworks in Brooklyn Saturday — leaving cops to rush to the scene and carry the young victims to safety in their arms, according to sources and video.

The shots rang out at about 10:35 p.m. at 2930 W. 30th St. near Surf Ave in Coney Island, not far from the boardwalk where a fireworks display had been set for 9:45 p.m., police say.

Detectives and police swarmed the scene outside the Seapark Apartments, and were seen on video running down the street carrying young victims to get medical care.

“When I see in the camera I see the cops running with the kids in their hands,” a deli worker on the corner told the Post.

“When I went out I saw one kid was going into the ambulance and I was told there were four inside.”

It was not clear how many gunmen there were or why the shots were fired, but residents said the block is known for violence.
