A Christmas tree lighting ceremony in North Carolina turned into a bullet festival when 2 gunmen exchanged gunfire, injuring 4 people — including themselves, according to police.

The bullets started flying Friday night at the holiday event in Concord, NC, where locals — among them young children — had gathered for the festivities along with the assailants, identified as Nasir Ahmad Bostic and an unnamed juvenile, cops said.

Police say the gun-wielding suspects pumped each other full of lead, while also shooting two other people. The injured were rushed to a hospital, where Bostic, the juvenile and a 17-year-old were listed in critical condition. A fourth person, also 17, was treated and released from the hospital.

Videos posted to social media showed crowds of people running frantically from the scene after they heard bullets piercing the air. Cops said they’re reviewing footage from the attack and asking anyone with additional video to contact them.
