The city manager of Lynwood, a Los Angeles-area suburb, was put on paid administrative leave Tuesday after his social media post on the ambush shooting of two sheriffs' deputies over the weekend was heavily criticized.
Jose Ometeotl was put on leave pending an internal investigation, Lynwood City Councilman Salvador Alatorre told Fox News, following the council's closed session meeting Tuesday night. Alatorre put forth the motion to discipline or dismiss Ometeotl following his personal Instagram post that read, "chickens come home to roost" after two deputies were shot multiple times while sitting in their patrol vehicle Saturday in the nearby city of Compton.
Alatorre told Fox News in a text message the move against Ometeotl was "Protocal" [sic] and that "he is gone, will not represent Lynwood anymore."
"He represents the city of Lynwood 24/7," Alatorre said Monday. "He cannot make statements while he's employed by our city, especially when he jeopardizes public safety." CLICK HERE FOR MORE.
