PROSPECT PARK, Pa. 鈥� Prospect Park Fire Chief Jim Simmonds resigned after sharing a social media post with 鈥渋ll-mannered remarks鈥� following the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The post Simmonds referenced seems to be deleted, but screenshots in the Citizens of Delco Facebook group show a post from Simmonds that says, 鈥淎 little to the right next time please,鈥� reported.

鈥淚 made a terrible mistake in posting an unprofessional post on Facebook,鈥� Simmonds wrote in the Facebook group. 鈥淚 meant no harm to anyone and an attempted assassination of a former US President is no laughing matter.鈥�
