Narok County DCI Director Mwenda Ethaiba told journalists in his office that the shotgun had been brought to the DCI headquarters for ballistic tests.
Ethaiba stated that detectives would look into how the pistol was obtained and if it was legally or illegally obtained.
"We have confiscated the firearm used in the incident, and it is now our subject of interest. We are looking at its licensing, which forms part of our investigations," he said.
According to the DCI officer, the next course of action will be determined once the legality of the gun is established.
A government pathologist performed an autopsy on the boy's remains at Longisa District Hospital in neighboring Bomet County on Tuesday evening.
"The post-mortem examination confirmed that the death was caused by a gunshot that passed through the minor's chin and exited on top of his head," Ethaiba said.
Sankok's 15-year-old son, who was about to start Form Three at Kericho High School, allegedly shot himself to death in his room at his home in Ewaso Ng'iro market centre.
Detectives were also investigating how the youngster obtained the firearm, allegedly kept in his father's bedroom.
The adolescent had previously refused to return to school. He consented to attend after a long discussion with his father and sister, but he shot himself dead shortly afterwards.
