Dancing With the Stars alum Cheryl Burke responded after posting a social media video featuring a gunshot sound in light of the recent tragedy in Minnesota.
“I want to take a moment to acknowledge something very important. Less than an hour ago, I posted a transition video that included the sound of a gun,” Burke, 41, wrote in a Thursday, August 28, Instagram statement. “At the time, I was completely unaware of the horrific school shooting that took place [yesterday] in Minneapolis at a Catholic school.”
She continued, “Out of respect for the lives impacted, I have already taken that post down. I want to be clear … that does not erase the reality that my post could have caused pain, discomfort or even retraumatization for those affected by [the] tragedy. For that, I am deeply sorry.”
