'SNL' Writer Criticized For Tweeting Barron Trump 'Will Be This Country's First Homeschool Shooter'

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A writer for "Saturday Night Live" is getting criticized on social media for an inappropriate tweet about President Donald Trump's 10-year-old son Barron.

Katie Rich tweeted Friday, "Barron will be this country's first homeschool shooter." She later deleted the post.

However, many on Twitter took issue with Rich's tweet, slamming her for going after a young boy.
