A 17-year-old boy was hurt in a broad-daylight shooting outside his Brooklyn high school early Thursday — following a bloody night where several teens were shot outside a Queens nightclub, cops said.
The teen, who attends the nearby Dr. Susan S. McKinney Secondary School of the Arts, was blasted in the stomach around 8:30 a.m. at the corner of Park and North Portland avenues in Fort Greene, authorities said.
The victim was taken to Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.

The attacker — also believed to be in his teens and last seen wearing a black jacket — fled north on Oxford Street after the shooting, sources said.
The violence came hours after 10 people — mainly teenagers — were hurt in a mass shooting outside Amazura nightclub in Jamaica, Queens, cops said.
More than 100 people had gathered there for a memorial for 16-year-old Taearion Mungo, who was shot dead at the Walt Whitman Houses public housing complex in Fort Greene on Oct. 26, cops said.
Considering Mungo’s connections to the FNO street gang, investigators are probing whether the nightclub shooting may have had a gang nexus.
Mungo was gunned down only about a block away from where the 17-year-old was shot and wounded on Thursday, cops said.
Authorities were not immediately able to say whether Thursday’s shooting was linked to Mungo’s slaying, or the nightclub violence.
