By JAMIE SCHRAM
June 21, 2011The man who was the target of an apparent murder attempt in East New York yesterday is a member of a the Gambino crime family, according to law enforcement sources.
Carl Lastorino, 45, burst into Peter's Tire and Rim Shop with two loaded pistols at around 5 p.m. and screamed, "Peter, this is for you."
He then opened fire, emptying the first revolver at the victim, Peter Argentina, the crime family member and shop owner. He suffered non-life-threatening injuries, authorities said.
Lastorino fled, trying to get into a livery cab on Linden Boulevard. He tossed one gun into the back seat. Seconds later, a sergeant and a rookie arrived and ordered him to drop his other weapon.
Pointing the empty gun at them, Lastorino screamed, "You're not going to take me alive!" a police source said.
The cops each fired once, killing Lastorino.
