The chief of the Cleveland Division of Fire was placed on paid administrative leave after sharing an "insensitive" and "incendiary" social media post in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination, Mayor Justin Bibb announced Tuesday.

The since-deleted Facebook post by Anthony P. Luke referred to Kirk and featured a cartoon showing elephants worshiping a golden rifle with one elephant declaring, "Bring out the next sacrifice!!" according to Fox 8 News.

The post reportedly appeared on Luke’s personal Facebook page after Kirk, a 31-year-old father of two, was tragically killed at a college campus event in Utah Sept. 10.

Bibb said the post "crossed the line."
