Once again, 33 years old:
"Virginia State Police are conducting an exhaustive review of their "Do Not Sell" list for firearms after a man who shot a police officer in the head in 2013 was recently allowed to buy a gun legally.
Kashif Bashir, the man who shot Alexandria Officer Peter Laboy, was able to buy a gun because a "human error" was made in adding his name to a list of people barred from buying firearms, Virginia State Police said.
Bashir, 33, was re-arrested last month after he was found with guns and accused of setting fires, Prince William County officials said. For shooting Laboy, he was found not guilty by reason of insanity and released from a mental health facility in 2018."
