"The Blacklist" actress Megan Boone is apologizing for "glorifying" assault weapons, saying her character on the show will never be seen with one again.

Boone wrote to her more than 140,000 followers on Twitter on Friday:

Boone, 34, plays FBI profiler Elizabeth Keen on the NBC crime thriller.

The Florida-raised performer's tweet comes after the Feb. 14 shooting at a Parkland, Fla., high school that killed 17 people. Police say the suspect, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz, used a legally purchased AR-15 semi-automatic rifle to carry out the attack.

The shooting has brought the gun control debate to the forefront of conversations across the country. Survivors of the shooting have protested in Tallahassee and Washington, and are planning a march in D.C. next month.

The Florida House voted against a motion earlier this week to consider a bill banning assault rifles and large-capacity magazines.

On Thursday, President Trump suggested at a meeting with local and regional officials at the White House that violence on the internet and in movies and video games could be contributing to recent mass shootings.

"I'm hearing more and more people say the level of violence on video games is really shaping young people's thoughts. And you go one further step and that's the movies. ... maybe they have to put a rating system for that," Trump said.
