News Anchor Painfully Mispronounces Officer's Name

January 3, 2019

While reporting on the tragic death of a fallen officer, (donate to her son here), anchor Brianna Clark was caught off-guard by both her first and last names:

What you don’t see in the video is my apology immediately after realizing what I said. I cannot say this enough: I sincerely apologize to everyone I have offended, especially the officers family and friends. I did not mean to say what I said and I was able to correct myself...

... in a later newscast. I am embarrassed, disappointed and sick at myself. Who ever posted the video of my mistake has now taken the attention off of the fallen officer, turning it into a laughing matter...

...I cannot apologize enough for mispronouncing her name in the worst way possible. And I hope you guys can forgive me.

Thank you to all our law enforcement for risking your lives everyday to protect us. I feel safe because of you.
