MANHATTAN — Ten kids were on a school bus parked outside Harlem's Choir Academy when a bullet pierced it above the windshield Monday afternoon, cops said.

About seven shots rang out near Madison Avenue and East 127th Street about 3:30 p.m. before one of them pierced the bus carrying 5- and 6-year-old children, an NYPD spokesman said.

None of the kids or the driver, who was also on board, were injured, police said.

The shooter was not immediately arrested, cops said.
