A former Philadelphia sheriff's deputy is accused of illegally selling firearms, including two which had been used in a deadly "ambush" after a high school football scrimmage, court documents state. The former deputy, Samir Ahmad, 29, faces charges of firearms trafficking and selling firearms to a person unlawfully in the U.S. Law enforcement gave the informant an audio recording device and instructed him to buy the gun from Ahmad. Three people — two teenagers and a 21-year-old man — were arrested in connection to the shooting, NBC Philadelphia reported. It's not clear if Ahmad knew the weapons had been used in the shooting prior to his obtaining them.
