A 21-year-old Vermont man is facing federal charges that he purchased a handgun that was found less than 24-hours later at the scene of a shootout in Springfield, Massachusetts, that resulted in the deaths of two men.
“In truth, as Yee admitted to police, he had been given $2,000 to purchase two handguns by a person Yee knew as ‘Jay’ with the understanding that Jay would receive the .40 caliber weapon,” prosecutors said in a motion for detention filed in federal court. “Yee admitted he understood Jay wanted the weapon because Jay was in a disagreement with another person over the treatment of Jay’s sister. Yee admitted learning that Jay had been shot and killed shortly after Yee supplied Jay with the gun.
It’s not the first time that firearms purchased in Vermont on behalf of others have been used in crimes in Massachusetts.
