Officer Who Shot Tamir Rice Fired from West Virginia Ranger Post After Backlash
Following public criticism, Timothy Loehmann was recently fired from his position as a ranger at a West Virginia resort community. This marks the fourth time in seven years that Loehmann has been let go from a small department after facing public backlash. Loehmann was the officer who fatally shot 12-year-old Tamir Rice in Cleveland in 2014, an event that sparked controversy and led to a settlement. Despite this, he continued to be hired and then subsequently fired or resigned from other positions, reflecting ongoing outrage over the incident.
