Texas firefighter terminated over alleged Facebook post about Charleston massacre


According to KLTV, Kurtis Cook, a volunteer firefighter for the Mabank Fire Department, reportedly posted in support of Dylann Storm Roof, the white man accused of fatally shooting nine people at a historically black church in Charleston last week.

The department said on its Facebook page Friday morning that it was investigating the claims. About an hour later, the department said it had "terminated Kurtis Cook as a volunteer firefighter permanently and has trespassed him from all Mabank Fire Department property."
