    A 17-year-old boy was shot in the leg near a Staten Island high school Thursday — not even 30 minutes after two teens were separately busted with guns in another school across the city.

    No arrests were made shortly after the 1 p.m. shooting outside Ralph R. McKee Career and Technical Education High School in St. George, police said.

    The boy was shot in the left leg, and medics rushed him to Richmond University Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition, cops said. They couldn’t confirm if the teen was a student at the school, or if the shooter or shooters attended it.

    The broad daylight shooting unfolded barely a half hour after another, unrelated gun disturbance inside Flushing High School in Queens that prompted a soft lockdown, sources said.

    Sources told The Post that it began when a student became irate and threw something at a school safety agent.

    The agent put the student custody and found a firearm during a search, prompting the lockdown, sources said.

    A search of backpacks belonging to the student’s friends uncovered another gun, according to sources.

    Two guns in total were found — one in a 15-year-old boy’s bookbag and another in a 17-year-old boy’s bag, police said.

    Both boys were taken into custody after NYPD cops responded to a 911 call from the school. No charges had been filed as of Thursday afternoon, police said.

    The kids with guns in Queens weren’t the only students this week busted with firearms in a city school.

    Cops busted a 17-year-old boy Wednesday for bringing a gun to Curtis High School in Staten Island, a school that’s a five-minute stroll from Ralph R. McKee Career and Technical Education High School.

    The teen gave school safety agents a hard time while being searched before entering the school, sources said. He eventually opened the bag and a school safety agent found a loaded 9 mm firearm, according to sources.
