Town officials said Thursday they intend to fire a police chief suspended after he posted online videos of himself shooting automatic weapons and going on profanity-laced tirades about liberals and the Second Amendment.

Gilberton council members made the decision on Thursday concerning Chief Mark Kessler, the only full-time member of the town's police force, who's active in gun rights circles and is organizing an armed, non-government group that critics call a private militia.
