Summary

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos is now explicitly clearing the entire Guthrie family, including all siblings and spouses. That statement comes less than 24 hours after previous interviews where he said no one had been cleared. Meanwhile, federal agents have reportedly shown up at gun stores across Tucson with 40 names and 40 photos, asking employees if any of those individuals purchased weapons. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield is joined by former Special Deputy U.S. Marshal and CEO of Coursen Security Group, Spencer Coursen, to break down all the latest updates and where this investigation is heading next.
