Officer who shot Ohio boy was asked to leave prior job

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — The Cleveland police officer who shot and killed 12-year-old boy last month showed a "dismal" handgun performance and had emotional issues during his short stint in 2012 with the nearby Independence Police Department, records show.

Officer Timothy Loehmann's time with the Independence Police Department in suburban Cleveland lasted six months, according to personnel files released Wednesday, and he resigned after a recommendation that he'd be let go.

In November 2012, an internal memo described Loehmann during a time on a gun range as "distracted" and "weepy," while being "incommunicative," according to Deputy Chief Jim Polak.

"He could not follow simple directions, could not communicate clear thoughts nor recollections," according to a letter from Polak. "I do not believe time, nor training, will be able to change or correct the deficiencies."
