LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Bullitt County tattoo shop fired an employee, accusing them of celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk.

The Mt. Washington business is now setting the record straight after backlash.

Prevail Tattoo posted on its social media pages that a video shared to the artist's personal Instagram page showed them allegedly "laughing and celebrating" in response to the news of Kirk's death.
