Five people were shot and wounded — two critically — near Brighton Beach this evening as hundreds of youths swarmed the area with schools closed for "Brooklyn-Queens Day."

"It’s a bad combination of guns, heat, beer and angry young men," a police source said, pointing to empty malt liquor bottles strewn all over The Boardwalk.

Cops had one suspect in custody, and an FDNY spokesman described the scene as "utter chaos."

“Just watched some idiot kid let off 8 rounds into a crowded beach,” said @djslicknick on Twitter. “I saw like 4 ambulances. It was a madhouse.”

This is the 6th or 7th event like this in a week.

A teenage girl was killed and four men were wounded when two gunmen opened fire on the Brighton Beach boardwalk that was crowded with people seeking relief from Thursday's heat, police said.

The shooting erupted at about 5:30 p.m. at Brighton 4th Street and Brighton 6th Street.

Police spokesman Paul Browne says the shooting occurred during an altercation on the beach.

He did not know if the people shot were intended targets or bystanders. He described the situation as "chaotic.''
