Zurana Horton, a mother of 13, gave her own life to protect the kids, who she'd just picked up from school after classes were dismissed about 2:35pm.
Bullets also struck and 11-year-old and a 31-year-old woman walking out of P.S/I.S 298.
Horton's distraught cousin told the NY Post: "As soon as we crossed the street, they started shooting,"The gunfire was everywhere, we couldn't move, there was nowhere to go, we didn't know where the bullets were coming from.
"She was about to get ready to move out of here, she's getting married, but now she can't do any of that."
The 11-year-old victim, Cheanne McKnight, "kept screaming, 'They shot me in the face! They shot my face!'" said her aunt Ximinia Fernandez.
The third victim was identified by a cousin as Unique Mobily, who was shot in the arm and chest as she walked from the school with her kids.
The shots are believed to have been fired from the roof of a nearby building, cops said.
NYPD spokesman Paul Brown said police are eyeing the possibility the gunman was firing at a group of youths arguing on the street below.
Three men, one with a black hooded top and a second in dark clothing, fled from the scene eastbound on foot and entered a nearby property. Two people from the property were being questioned by police Friday night.
