Create an int field which you can use as a timer:

private int shotTimer = 0;

Whenever you shoot, set the timer to some value (3 seconds is about 170 I guess).

shotTimer = 170;

Each act cycle, you reduce the value by 1 if it isn't 0:

if (shotTimer > 0) shotTimer--;

Before shooting, check if the shotTimer is 0, you can also use it right after the last line, so:

if (shotTimer > 0) shotTimer--;
else if (Greenfoot.isKeyDown("space"))
{
    shotTimer = 170;
    //shoot the bullet
}
