He’s terrified of being in his own home.
An 11-year-old Bronx boy who was shot when a bullet ripped through his family’s front door lives in fear of being attacked again.
“I don’t like answering doors anymore and I don’t want to go back there,” a traumatized Ryan Aguirre told The Post from a new apartment where he’s staying.
The sixth-grade honors student escaped serious injury when he was shot in the right hip late on the night of Jan. 5.
“I was just playing a game and the doorbell rang, so I got up to answer it,” Ryan said. “When I was walking toward the door, I said, ‘Who?’ and they just started shooting.
“I can’t describe feeling it, but I saw it go through the door. I knew it was bullets and I just held on to the wall and called out for my dad.”
Ryan was home with his father, Juan Aguirre, at their Fordham Manor apartment when police said three rounds were fired outside in the hallway.
Kijana Jenkins, 17, has been charged with assault and weapon possession in the shooting, which cops believe stemmed from a schoolyard beef over a jacket he owned.
The victim’s sister, Destiny, said Jenkins was angry that a male friend of hers had donned the alleged shooter’s prized jacket. Police have said Ryan was not the intended target of the shooting.
“My brother had nothing to do with it,” said Destiny, 14. “If [Jenkins] wanted his jacket, he could have gone to the boy. He saw the boy run off with it.
“I guess he felt disrespected and he probably felt like he needed to make a point.”
Jenkins’ alleged accomplice remains on the loose.
Ryan said he’s “feeling better,” but is still “scared they might just do it again.”
Teachers at Ryan’s school bought him a Kindle and sent him a “Get Well” poster while classmates swamped him with good wishes during his five-day stay at Jacobi Hospital.
“I want to tell them thanks for all the cards and get-well wishes,” Ryan said.
Now he said he just wants to play video games with his pals and steer clear of trouble.
“The experience will help keep me on the right path,” Ryan said.
That’s his dad’s hope, too.
“If that kid would have taken my son’s life, I don’t know what I would have done,” said Juan Aguirre, 32. “A lot of things went through my mind.”
Ryan said he’s not looking forward to facing down Jenkins or his partner in a courtroom.
“I don’t even want to see them again,” he said.
