Pittsburgh television anchor Wendy Bell has been fired after making racist comments on Facebook.

Bell, an anchor with WTAE-TV, had been off the air since posting on her official Facebook page.

After a mass shooting in Wilkinsburg--and before police had announced any arrests--Bell made the post, which she later deleted.

“You needn’t be a criminal profiler to draw a mental sketch of the killers who broke so many hearts two weeks ago Wednesday... they are young black men, likely in their teens or early 20s,” she wrote, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
