Former Cleveland cop Timothy Loehmann , the officer who shot and killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice , has backed out of a new job after reports surfaced that he had accepted a police officer position in Pennsylvania.

Loehmann accepted a role as the lone officer for Tioga, Pennsylvania on Tuesday, Williamsport Sun-Gazettes Garrett Carr first reported on Wednesday . However, the hire didnt last long.

Borough Council President Steve Hazlett said that Loehmann, who was hired on a probationary period, later withdrew his application, the newspaper reported on Thursday .

Loehmann killed Rice in 2014 when the boy was playing with a toy gun by a Cleveland recreation center. Although the death sparked nationwide protests, an Ohio grand jury declined to indict the former Cleveland officer on any criminal charges . Loehmann was fired from the department in 2017 for lying on his job application.
