On Friday, after the inauguration, TGP reported that Katie Rich, a writer for Saturday Night Live, tweeted that “Barron will be this country’s first home-school shooter.” She received tremendous backlash on Twitter; people called for her firing.

Chicago Tribune reports:

A writer for “Saturday Night Live” has apologized for a tweet last week about Barron Trump, the 10-year-old son of President Donald Trump — a tweet that has since been deleted.

On Friday, after the inauguration, Katie Rich, a Chicago native and Second City alum, tweeted that “Barron will be this country’s first home-school shooter.” The reaction on Twitter was swift and pointed: Minor children of the president are off-limits.

For much of the weekend, Rich’s Twitter account was de-activated. It was restored Monday afternoon and contained just a single tweet: “I sincerely apologize for the insensitive tweet. I deeply regret my actions & offensive words. It was inexcusable & I’m so sorry.”

Rich’s name was absent from the credits after Saturday’s broadcast. However, on NBC’s media website for journalists, Rich is still listed as a writer.

When contacted by the Tribune, “SNL” had no comment regarding the tweet nor Rich’s employment status. A person familiar with the situation said that Rich was suspended immediately after her tweet and the suspension is indefinite.

Rich also has not responded to an interview request.
