Investigators say the 17-year-old senior left Bronx Regional High School in Morrisania for lunch around 12:30 p.m. when he was shot in the shoulder by a man wearing a ski mask.

He told investigators the shooter was attempting to rob him.

"A lot of kids were out here, you know they was chilling for lunchtime. So I guess when we went back inside they said some guy got shot we started hearing helicopters. That's when all the cops came up. Usually what happens, it's really dangerous because all the kids chill here and they go out for lunch and then other people will be up the block and so there's not a lot of security around here," said one Bronx Regional High School student.

"They said the boy wanted his jacket and Paul said 'I'm not giving you my jacket.' And somebody said they was fighting at first, people was around watching and they didn't take it seriously. And they shot him," said another student.

The teen was taken to Lincoln Hospital where he is expected to recover.
