Timothy Loehmann, the former Cleveland officer who fatally shot 12-year-old Tamir Rice in 2014, was hired as the lone police officer in a small Pennsylvania town this week.

clarified that the officer hired to represent the borough of about 700 people was Loehmann, who was fired from the Cleveland Police Department in 2017 for lying on his job application but faced no criminal charges connected to Rice’s death. Rice was carrying a pellet gun at a playground when he was shot and killed by Loehmann in November 2014.

“He shouldn’t be a police officer anywhere in the United States,” she said, adding that she was enraged and concerned for the Tioga community. “I’m actually shocked that anybody would give him a job knowing what he has done to my family.” Subodh Chandra, the attorney for Rice’s family and his estate, told The Post on Thursday that he was “shocked and yet not surprised.”

“Timothy Loehmann has shown a level of shameless determination to rub his conduct into the faces of the family of Tamir Rice and the rest of the world,” Chandra said. “The level of bad judgment here by the Tioga Borough Council is really unfathomable, and I hope they will be held to account.”Tioga Borough Mayor David Wilcox said he was not made aware of Loehmann’s background when the members of the borough council found the officer and agreed to hire him.
