A retired NYPD detective was shot by a stray bullet in a possible gang-related crime in Harlem on Tuesday morning, cops and police sources said.

The 60-year-old former officer, Terence Felder, was on his way to his current job as an investigative consultant for the city’s Administration for Children’s Services when he took a bullet to the stomach on Lenox Avenue near West 125th Street around 7 a.m., authorities and sources said.

Felder, who left the force in 2006, was not the intended target, according to the sources.The retired cop’s wife, Victoria Felder, told The Post that her husband was struck by two bullets.“The fact that they didn’t hit any vital organs was nothing but the Lord,” she said.  

“It hit him in the chest,” she said of one of the slugs. “It went into his chest and came out his abdomen, and then another one is lodged in his right arm.”

The bullets flew when two men spotted three other guys they recognized – possibly from a rival gang, police sources said. The shooter’s target – a 21-year-old man – was grazed in the neck and was uncooperative with investigators, cops and police sources said.

“It’s unfortunate, but it’s not surprising at all, considering the condition of the area,” the retired cop’s wife said of the violence.

She said 125th Street has “gotten really ridiculous” in the past 10 years “with the drug addicts and gang violence. “It’s unfortunate, and we need something done about it.”

She said that Mayor Eric Adams, “at this point, [needs to do] whatever he can do.
“There needs to be programs out there where kids are off the streets. These are kids that did this. These are not adults,” Victoria Felder said.
She added that her husband was “resting comfortably at this time.”

Her husband retired from the 34 Precinct, which covers Washington Heights and Inwood, according to the sources.

Many retired NYPD cops have taken on jobs as ACS investigators.

ACS Commissioner Jess Dannhauser said later at a press conference unrelated to the crime, ”I just want to express a quick note of gratitude from ACS to the NYPD and to the Harlem Hospital, who has been caring for our staff who was shot this morning on the way to work.

“The mayor, in his graciousness, met with him this afternoon. We’re happy to report that he’s in good spirits surrounded by family and friends. Please keep him in your prayers for us.”

Detectives’ Endowment Association President Paul DiGiacomo called the shooting “more proof of the continued crime crisis in the city” and said it is “yet another case overworked NYPD Detectives will investigate.

“On his way to work like hundreds of others in his neighborhood, he’s fortunate to be alive,” the union official added of the former NYPD victim. “New Yorkers can’t become numb to this violence — and politicians who have emboldened these criminals with their failed laws need to be voted out!”
