Story highlights A Port Canaveral Police sergeant has paper hoodie shooting targets in his police car 
 
 He offers the so-called Trayvon Martin targets to two other officers, who say no 
 
 Sergeant is fired after an internal investigation 
 
 "It is absolutely reprehensible," Martin family attorney says 
 
 A Florida police sergeant was fired for possessing several so-called Trayvon Martin shooting targets, authorities said Saturday. 
 
 Sgt. Ron King of Port Canaveral Police Department was fired Friday after an internal review investigated how he offered the hoodie paper shooting targets to two fellow officers, said John Walsh, interim CEO of the Canaveral Port Authority. 
 
 The officers, who saw King with the targets in his police vehicle, declined the offer, Walsh said. 
 
 "Port Canaveral Police Department considers that behavior unacceptable," Walsh said of King's conduct. 
 
 King couldn't be immediately reached for comment. 
 
 In February 2012, Martin, 17, was shot and killed in Sanford, Florida, by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch captain who is awaiting trial on a second-degree murder charge in Martin's death. 
 
 Martin family attorney Ben Crump condemned the use of the targets. 
 
 "It is absolutely reprehensible that a high-ranking member of the Port Canaveral Police, sworn to protect and serve Floridians, would use the image of a dead child as target practice," Crump said in a statement. "Such a deliberate and depraved indifference to this grieving family is unacceptable." 
 
 Walsh said the Canaveral Port Authority plans to apologize to the Martin family. 
 
 King brought two of the targets to a firearms training session on April 4 at the Brevard Community College campus in Cocoa, Florida, CNN affiliate WFTV reported. 
 
 King, who bought the targets on the Internet, and other officers at the training site were on duty at the time, the affiliate said. Port officials said King had been employed at the police department since January 2011, the affiliate said. ||||| Officials with Port Canaveral said a police sergeant has been fired after he brought shooting targets resembling Trayvon Martin to a firearms training session. 
 
 
 
 Sgt. Ron King was terminated from the police department on Friday, according to officials. 
 
 
 
 Port officials said King brought two shooting targets which had images resembling Trayvon Martin on them to a firearms training session on April 2. 
 
 
 
 The image of someone wearing a dark hoodie with a drink can and a bag of Skittles candy in their hand has become a well-known symbol in the death of 17-year-old Martin. The unarmed teen was shot and killed by George Zimmerman in Sanford last year. 
 
 
 
 Port Canaveral interim CEO John Walsh is meeting with members of the Police Department on Monday, including Chief Joe Hellebrand, who declined to comment. 
 
 
 
 "Whether his act was hatred or stupidity, none is tolerable," said Walsh. 
 
 
 
 Walsh set the termination into motion last week, citing two department violations. 
 
 
 
 Internal investigation documents Channel 9 obtained from a witness claims "Sgt. King stated he bought 100 of these and offered me one." 
 
 
 
 "He had a target in the back of his car and offered it to two other officers with the port," said Walsh. "They rejected his offer and told him to put it back in the car." 
 
 
 
 Officials will not say if the targets were actually used by King. 
 
 
 
 The attorney for Martin's parents said they're aware of the incident. 
 
 
 
 "The parents are just trying their best to not think of their son as an image for target practice. It makes no sense to them," said attorney Ben Crump. 
 
 
 
 The firearms training was being held at a facility at the Brevard Community College campus in Cocoa. The officers who were participating in the training, as well as King, were on duty at the time. 
 
 
 
 But King told a different story in a YouTube video he posted, saying, "I find that people are accusing me of doing something that I just plain did not do." 
 
 
 
 King said he brought the targets to demonstrate what officers should not shoot at, and claims anyone saying otherwise is trying to further their own political agenda. 
 
 
 
 King had been employed with the Port Canaveral Police Department since January 2011, officials said. Port officials told WFTV King purchased the targets on the Internet. 
 
 
 
 In a statement from Benjamin Crump, the attorney for Trayvon Martin's family, he said "Using a dead child's image as target practice is reprehensible." 
 
 
 
 Officials said King has seven days to appeal his termination. A hearing has been tentatively set for Friday to review the matter.
– A Florida cop is out of a job following the less-than-brilliant decision to bring targets with Trayvon Martin's image to on-duty shooting practice. As CNN reports, Sgt. Ron King of the Port Canaveral Police Department brought a couple of the targets—which he apparently purchased online—to an April 4 training session and offered them to fellow officers, who declined. He was fired Friday after an internal review; a Canaveral Port Authority spokesman calls King's action "unacceptable," and says an apology to Trayvon's family is in the works. "Whether his act was hatred or stupidity, none is tolerable," he tells WFTV. The Martin family is unamused, and issued this statement via their lawyer: "It is absolutely reprehensible that a high-ranking member of the Port Canaveral Police, sworn to protect and serve Floridians, would use the image of a dead child as target practice. Such a deliberate and depraved indifference to this grieving family is unacceptable." King had a little more than two years on the force; he has seven days to appeal.
