LeBron James deletes tweet targeting officer who shot Ma'Khia Bryant

LeBron James has deleted a tweet he posted Tuesday night in reaction to the shooting of Ma'Khia Bryant, amid a vocal response from conservative voices including former president Donald Trump.

The tweet in question featured a picture of Columbus police officer Nicholas Reardon, who shot the 16-year-old Bryant while responding to a 911 call on Tuesday. The tweet read "YOU'RE NEXT #ACCOUNTABILITY" and included an hourglass emoji:
