ATLANTA (AP) - The sheriff responsible for protecting the courthouse where a deadly shooting spree erupted in March wants to fire at least four deputies over security lapses, a union official said Wednesday.
The deputies received letters from Sheriff Myron Freeman on Monday and Tuesday stating he planned to fire them. However, he offered them a chance to respond before taking final action, said Sgt. Charles Rambo, president of Local 453 of the International Brotherhood of Police Officers.
None of the four could be immediately reached for comment. Rambo said there are other deputies who also could be fired or otherwise disciplined, but he only knew of letters received by union members.
