( CNN ) -- 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 .

Zimmerman 's lawyer worries brother 's tweets could hurt defense . 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 . '' Report : Martin 's family settles with homeowners association . 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 .
