The assault rifle used in mass shooter Shane Tamura’s deadly rampage at a Park Avenue skyscraper was assembled piece by piece – with the critical part purchased by his boss, according to officials and sources.
The psycho’s supervisor at the Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas allegedly supplied the Palmetto State Armory lower receiver for the AR-15 that Tamura used to kill four people, including an NYPD cop, sources told The Post.
The lower receiver – which houses the trigger assembly, magazine well, and pistol grip – is the only AR-15 part classified as a firearm under federal law, and it requires a background check to buy.
“When you have an assault rifle of that sort, there are lower parts of the body, there are upper parts and different parts that assemble the gun,” Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday.
“The lower part, we are finding out, was purchased by an associate. It is undetermined at this time if he played any role at all in planning or carrying out this action. This is what the investigation would reveal. We are now attempting to identify him and question him at this time.”
