Mccurdy’s reported posts referred to two Mississippi police officers—34-year-old Benjamin Deen and 25-year-old Liquori Tate—who were fatally shot after making a routine traffic stop Saturday night, the Daily News explains. Mississippi police have arrested three people in the crime.

A spokesman for the Subway restaurant chain issued a statement explaining that Mccurdy’s posts were unacceptable.
