Three teens were shot and wounded in two separate incidents in Manhattan and Brooklyn, police said Monday.

All three victims are expected to recover. The shooters in both incidents are still being sought.

Two of the victims, both 17-year-old boys, were shot inside 653 Amsterdam Convenience on Amsterdam Ave. near W. 93rd St. on the Upper West Side at about 7:43 p.m. Sunday.

The teens were inside the store when two men approached the store, stopping at the entrance, and one opened fire.

After the victims were hit — one in the hip, the other in the stomach — the attackers, dressed in all black, ran off and were last seen heading east on W. 92nd St., police said. The victims were taken to local hospitals in stable condition.

Less than two hours later, an 18-year-old man on probation was shot in his arm, hand and groin at the 24/7 Eats Deli & Grill on Sutter Ave. near Crystal St. in East New York.

The victim refused to tell police what happened, but the owner of the deli said the gunman walked in, confronted the victim immediately and opened fire at about 9:25 p.m. before fleeing, an account backed by surveillance video. The shooter was wearing a gray sweatsuit, cops said.

The victim was taken by medics to Brookdale University Hospital in stable condition. A police source said he is a suspect in 2023 Queens robbery pattern.

Cops recovered two 9-mm. shell casings from the scene.
