Jodie Marsh has come under fire after she posed with a handgun on the same day as a school shooting in America.
The model and bodybuilder posted the snap on her Instagram page and captioned it 'Only in America'.

But some fans weren't impressed with the snap after two pupils were injured when a 12-year-old student opened fire on classmates in New Mexico.

Ginge1977 added: “Goes on about anti bullying but finds it ok to stand there with a gun in her hands, in a country that has had more kids killed in school/colleges than any other country. Bit f***** up if ya ask me! Aint gonna do her image any good.”
And Heprich wrote “Stupid behaviour that makes you look like a gang member wannabe. Why would you want to look like a thug?"
But Jodie, who is in America filming a TV show, hit back, telling The Sun: “I’m not encouraging people to go out and buy a gun and hurt anybody.
“I’m not saying in that picture “Look, go out and buy a gun’.
“It’s far more damaging when celebrities glamorise drugs because that’s doing real harm."
Last year actress Helen Flanagan was blasted for posting a picture of her posing with a gun was just days after the Sandy Hook school shooting which left 26 children dead.
