Can my boss fire me over somethingthat Isaid that is completely unrelated to my job?

I made a crude comment about a woman standing outside of our storeand turns out it was my boss’s girlfriend. I had no idea and appologised relentlessly. About a week later I was coming in for my shift and he started screaming and yelling at me while threatening to call the cops telling me to leave. I was so embarrassed since he was screaming at me in front of other employees, and I just don’t feel that he has the right to fire me. I’m a good worker and never have been written up or anything. What should I do?
