ALLENTOWN, Pa. A rookie police officer who ran a red light on the way to an emergency call and crashed, killing a 4-year-old boy, was fired Wednesday.

The City Council voted 3-2 to terminate Brett Guth with the recommendation of the police chief and the mayor.

State police said Guth's car collided with another police cruiser May 30; one of the vehicles struck and killed Daviay Legrand and seriously injured his mother's boyfriend. Furious residents later massed at the crash scene and threw bottles and rocks at police.
