The gun the 14-year-old Bronx gangmember was firing when he was shot dead by a rookie cop was bought in 1999 in a Kentucky sporting goods store, police sources said Tuesday.
The black Astra 9mm pistol recovered after Shaaliver Douse was shot dead in the Sunday morning confrontation was legally purchased by a 35-year-old Louisville man in a Crestwood, Kentucky shop.
It was never reported stolen, and authorities are now trying to figure out how the weapon wound up in Douse’s hands.
Douse has been linked to two other guns — one he used to allegedly shoot a 15-year-old in the shoulder in May and a loaded one he was carrying when he was charged last October with weapons possession.
