A Queens school was evacuated Monday morning after a makeshift bazooka was found outside, police sources said.

The weapon, described by a Department of Education official as a dismantled gun attached to wires, was found leaning against a light pole outside PS 68 on St. Felix Ave. in Ridgewood about 7:45 a.m.

The bazooka was taken to the police firing range on Rodmans Neck in the Bronx, where investigators will determine if it is live, sources said.

The school was evacuated for about half an hour, according to the DOE.
