The Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Department in California sold its used firearms to cover the cost of buying new ones.

The old guns went to a distributor, which then turned around and sold them to the public.

One of those guns, a Glock pistol, was involved in the killing of Maria Leslie's grandson.
