NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — A high-ranking Norfolk Police officer who donated to the defense fund of Kyle Rittenhouse has been fired from the police department. 

Kyle Rittenhouse is the man charged with the murder of two Black Lives Matter protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last August.

However, Kelly used an official email address linked to himself, the Guardian reported.
