(CNN) A Phoenix officer will be fired for pulling a gun on the parents of a 4-year-old girl who allegedly stole a doll from a Family Dollar store, the police chief says.

Officer Christopher Meyer will be terminated following an internal investigation into his use of force in the May incident caught on video, Phoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams said at a press conference Tuesday.

The Phoenix Police Department gave a second officer involved in the incident a written reprimand, and the police chief agreed with the decision. The board recommended Meyer receive a six-week unpaid suspension, but Williams did not think that disciplinary action would suffice.

"In this case, a 240-hour suspension is just not sufficient to reverse the adverse effects of his cations on our department and our community," Williams said.

The Phoenix Law Enforcement Association did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment. CNN has also attempted to reach Meyer for comment.
