A radio host has lost his job after saying he would like "a nice school
shooting" to interrupt the "never-ending" coverage of US President Donald
Trump's impeachment.
Chuck Bonniwell apologised on Twitter for his "inappropriate comment"
before deleting the post.
The station, based in Denver, Colorado, has confirmed it has now axed the
news programme, the Chuck and Julie Show.
A student was killed in a Denver school shooting earlier this year.
The right-leaning station, 710 KNUS, said it was cancelling the show
"given the history of school violence that has plagued our community".

Trump impeachment - your questions answered
"You know, you wish for a nice school shooting to interrupt the monopoly,"
Mr Bonniwell said on air of the impeachment news coverage.
His wife and co-host of the show, Julie Hayden, hit back: "No, don't even
say that! He didn't say that."
"No one would be hurt," he clarified.
John Castillo, whose son Kendrick was killed in a shooting at the STEM
School Highlands Ranch near Denver in May, said the comments were
"unbelievable".
"I made an inappropriate comment meant as a joke. I'm sorry it was not
received that way," Mr Bonniwell said on Twitter, before the post was
deleted.
Denver's Columbine High School marked the 20th anniversary of a shooting
that killed 13 people in April.
710 KNUS has replaced the Chuck and Julie Show with America First,
presented by Sebastian Gorka - a former aide to President Trump.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
The Obama-led Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)
approved Uranium One in fall 2010. With a little luck, we'll see
compulsive liar Hillary Clinton in jail before she dies.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
