City officials and the Cleveland Police Department announced discipline Tuesday for two officers involved in the 2014 shooting death of 12-year-old Tamir Rice. His partner, Frank Garmback, who pulled his cruiser within feet of the young boy, was suspended for 10 days without pay. The report states that Tamir Rice “walked toward the path of the zone car and, as the zone car came to a stop in front of him, raised his shirt with one hand and began drawing the gun from his pants with the other.” 
 
 Loehmann was on probation at the time of the fatal shooting, and was fired Tuesday as a result of lying on his application to become a Cleveland police officer. Tamir was shot and killed by Loehmann outside the Cudell Recreation Center on Nov. 22, 2014. His termination letter, dated May 30, 2017, states that Loehmann didn't tell Cleveland police that while he was in Independence, that department determined he "failed to secure firearm," was "insubordinate and untruthful to a superior officer,” and that Loehmann was "emotional," "immature," and possessed an "inability to emotionally function."
– More than two years after fatally shooting a 12-year-old boy holding a toy gun, Cleveland police officer Timothy Loehmann has been fired, Cleveland.com reports. According to WKYC, Loehmann wasn't fired for Tamir Rice's death but rather because the investigation into it led officials to discover he wasn't forthright on his application to join the police department. Loehmann, who'd been with the Cleveland police department for less than eight months when Tamir was shot, was allowed to resign from his previous department after six months when supervisors determined he had "an inability to emotionally function." Loehmann had an emotional breakdown at the gun range and had also failed a test to join another department years earlier. He didn't disclose any of that on his application in Cleveland. Loehmann's partner, Frank Garmback, was suspended for 10 days without pay for driving in a manner that put Loehmann at risk during the 2014 incident. Neither officer was charged in connection with Tamir's death. Constance Hollinger, a 911 operator, was suspended for eight days without pay for relaying incomplete information to police. She mentioned a "guy with a gun" at a recreation center without the added details that it was "probably a child" and the gun was "probably fake." Loehmann shot Tamir within three seconds of arriving at the scene. Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson says the disciplinary process was "exhaustive." Cleveland 19 quotes the city's police chief as adding Tuesday: "Hopefully we won't have any more incidents like this."
