An officer who was hailed as a hero after the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando in 2016 is loosing his job.
Officer Omar Delgado, with the Eatonville Police Department, pulled numerous people to safety while responding to the shooting at Pulse.
But due to diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder, Delgdao's been on light desk duty since the incident. On Monday, however, Delgado told Local 10 News he was told he's being let go.
The Eatonville Police Department told News 6 that the town of Eatonville made a decision to terminate Delgado's employment on Dec. 31. The department declined to provide any further details.
"I came back physically, but not mentally," he said.
Delgado said he spent almost 10 years on the force.
"This holiday is going to be a rough one," he said. "What we witnessed and saw -- no man should have ever seen that."
Delgado and his supporters plan to address the council during Tuesday night's town hall meeting.
