A 911 operator has been fired after being accused of hanging up on a woman calling from inside the Tops supermarket during the mass shooting that killed 10 people and injured three more in Buffalo on May 14.

During the shooting, the store’s assistant office manager, Latisha Rogers, called 911 and was allegedly chided by the operator for whispering while hiding from the gunman, she told local media.
