Dec. 28 (UPI) Columbus, Ohio, officer Adam Coy, who shot and killed 47-year-old Andre Hill, has been fired, the Columbus Police Division said Monday.
Columbus Public Safety Director Ned Pettus Jr. said Coy was fired after a disciplinary hearing Monday morning.
Advertisement The information, evidence and representations made by Chief [Thomas] Quinlan as the investigator are, in my opinion, indisputable. His disciplinary recommendation is well-supported and appropriate, Pettus said. The actions of Adam Coy do not live up to the oath of a Columbus police officer, or the standards we, and the community, demand of our officers.
