A Florida sheriff's deputy who wrote about "almost" shooting someone and followed it with "lol" was fired Thursday
placed on administrative leave.
A photo shared by a Facebook user shows a photo of Pinellas County Sheriff's Deputy Austen Callus with the caption: "Nothing like almost shooting someone to set your head right lol."
Sheriff's spokesman Spencer Gross told the Tampa Bay Times Thursday that 23-year-old Callus has been placed on administrative leave Wednesday while the matter was being investigated.
Callus was terminated on Thursday, WFLA reported.
It's unclear what Callus was referring to in the post. Gross said no further information would be available until the investigation is complete.
The photo was shared by Facebook user Joseph Ashley Wood, who questioned why the sheriff's office would hire someone "who wants to shoot someone just to get his head right."
