PHILADELPHIA: Muslim Deputy Sheriff arrested and charged with selling guns to illegal alien, two of which allegedly were used in a deadly shooting that killed a 14-year-old student

Samir Ahmad, 29, is charged with firearms trafficking and selling firearms to an illegal alien in the U.S., the Justice Department said.  The alleged gun sale occurred on Oct. 13 while he was employed as a deputy with the Philadelphia Sheriff’s Office. 

FOX News (h/t Don S) Both of the Glock handguns sold were traced by investigators and were found to have been used in a September shooting near Roxborough High School, which killed one teen and injured four others at the end of a football scrimmage, according to a detention memo. Philadelphia high school student dead, 4 others injured in shooting

The gun transaction occurred after the shooting, prosecutors said. A Justice Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital that prosecutors don’t believe Ahmad sold guns to the suspects involved in the school shooting. 

Ahmad initially sold a firearm to the informant in April, prosecutors said. 

During the Oct. 13 exchange, which was captured with hidden video and audio equipment, the informant told Ahmad that he was in the United States illegally and that he would be deported if he was caught with firearms, federal prosecutors said. “You don’t got to worry about none of that,” Ahmad allegedly told him.

He made $3,000 from the sale of the guns and ammunition, prosecutors said. He was arrested on Oct. 19 and has since been fired. 

Ahmad was hired by the sheriff’s office in February 2018, a department spokesperson told Fox News Digital. 

“The defendant was terminated from the Sheriff’s Office because of his historically poor record of attendance at work,” prosecutors said. “Plainly, this fact suggests that the defendant made more money through the illegal sale of firearms and drugs than he did showing up for his job as a sworn law enforcement officer.”
