Fox News
Oakland, California Mayor Sheng Thao fired Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong after an investigation concluded he failed to properly investigate and discipline an officer.
A separate incident also showed Chung fired his firearm inside an elevator at police headquarters, according to The Associated Press.
Thao, who took office last month, said in a lengthy statement the federal judge overseeing the city said he was "profoundly disappointed" in the evidence he'd seen, and the report demonstrated "significant cultural problems" within Oakland PD.
