Two police officers who took smiling selfies at a memorial site for Elijah McClain, a black man who died in police custody last year, were fired and a third resigned before he could be terminated.

A fourth officer who saw the picture and replied “haha” in a text message also lost his job, Interim Aurora Police Chief Vanessa Wilson announced Friday.
