High School Student Shot in Brighton Beach A 17-year-old high school student was shot in the back on Wednesday near his Brooklyn school after he apparently tried to thwart a group of armed men trying to rob another student, the police said. Four suspects were taken into custody. The young man, whose name was not released, is a student at William E. Grady Career and Technical Education High School in Brighton Beach. He was taken to Lutheran Medical Center, where he was listed in serious but stable condition, and undergoing surgery. The shooting occurred in a park opposite the school around 3 p.m., said Marge Feinberg, a spokeswoman for the New York City Education Department. A police spokesman said the suspects were trying to rob a 16-year-old boy when the other teenager apparently tried to intervene.
