ICE notified Moore in late August that he was going to be fired and instructed him to come to the agency’s Philadelphia office, according to two federal officials who also spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss personnel matters. ICE had identified issues in his past, the officials said, including being fired from other law enforcement agencies.

The 38-year-old father of two had fought for his job when supervisors wanted to fire him in the past.

This time, he parked his car in a lot outside the office, and he had his gun. Law enforcement officers tried to stop him, but Moore eventually shot and killed himself, according to the Philadelphia Police Department.

    A compilation of the greatest hits:

    When he was 18, his mother reported to police that he had driven her car without permission…

    Moore arrested an on-duty jail captain in May 2018 during a dispute over a prisoner.

    During one of their assignments together, he said, Moore shattered a car window to reach allegedly undocumented immigrants inside. “It was like, whoa, why did this guy break this window out?” the former officer said…

    A Ford truck traveling around 40 mph had struck the driver’s side of Moore’s blue Toyota Camry at around 5:15 a.m. … The report noted Moore had entered the roadway “improperly” and drove “carelessly.” …

    “Taking my credentials and gun makes me feel like a leper,” Moore wrote. “There’s no greater insult to a cop.”

    “People shouldn’t have to die for this.”

    That’s right, Good, Pretti, and hundreds of others should not have had to die for this.
