A Brooklyn cop on a break early Saturday stepped into a stationhouse parking lot and was shot - in his bulletproof vest.
"I think I've been shot," the four-year veteran told fellow cops when he walked back into the 81st Precinct in Bedford-Stuyvesant after the 3:30 a.m. incident.
The cop was not seriously injured. Metal fragments were found in the vest.
"The bullet did not penetrate the vest," said a police spokesman.
The NYPD isn't sure what kind of gun was used, but investigators believe it was probably a small-caliber pistol and not a pellet rifle.
The 27-year-old cop was treated and released at Kings County Hospital.
Investigators were interviewing him Saturday and canvassing the area for abandoned guns.
It was unclear if he was targeted. No arrests have been made.
