Officials confirmed Saturday that a Florida policeman accused of bringing Trayvon Martin targets in for shooting practice was fired.

Port Canaveral Sgt. Ron King was terminated from the police department on Friday, according to Interim Chief Executive Officer John Walsh.

“Whether his act was hatred or stupidity, none is tolerable,” Mr. Walsh told WFTV. “He had a target in the back of his car and offered it to two other officers with the port.”

It’s undetermined if any of the targets were actually used. Mr. Walsh told reporters the sergeant purchased the targets on the Internet.

“Using a dead child’s image as target practice is reprehensible,” Benjamin L. Crump, an attorney for the Martin family, said in a statement.

King couldn’t be immediately reached for comment.

In February 2012, Martin, 17, was shot and killed in Sanford, Florida, by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch captain who is awaiting trial on a second-degree murder charge in Martin’s death.

Martin family attorney Ben Crump condemned the use of the targets.

“It is absolutely reprehensible that a high-ranking member of the Port Canaveral Police, sworn to protect and serve Floridians, would use the image of a dead child as target practice,” Crump said in a statement. “Such a deliberate and depraved indifference to this grieving family is unacceptable.”

Walsh said the Canaveral Port Authority plans to apologize to the Martin family.

King brought two of the targets to a firearms training session on April 4 at the Brevard Community College campus in Cocoa, Florida, CNN affiliate WFTV reported.

King, who bought the targets on the Internet, and other officers at the training site were on duty at the time, the affiliate said. Port officials said King had been employed at the police department since January 2011, the affiliate said.
