Ariel Winter is speaking out against actor David Henrie after he was reportedly arrested for carrying a loaded gun to an airport earlier this week.
"So...you didn’t notice the *loaded* gun in your bag when you were packing for the airport????? In other words...why was your gun not stored safely in a place where you knew where it was and why in the f--k was it loaded??" the "Modern Family" star wrote on Twitter Tuesday.
As previously reported, Henrie, 29, was going through a TSA screening at Los Angeles International Airport Monday morning when agents reportedly discovered an M&P Shield 9mm pistol that was loaded, according to TMZ.
Per the outlet, the former "Wizards of Waverly Place" actor was immediately detained and then taken to a nearby police station.

Following the incident, Henrie took to Twitter to apologize, saying that he was "humiliated" and "embarrassed."
"I take responsibility for the situation at LAX today," the "How I Met Your Mother" star wrote. "I unintentionally brought my legally owned gun which is registered in my name to the airport. I am so sorry for any trouble it caused, but I am appreciative of TSA's efforts in implementing the safety laws that are in place to protect our beautiful country."
He continued: "More than anything I am humiliated and embarrassed that this even happened. But I am thankful to the TSA, LAPD and all involved today for their kindness and their professionalism during this process."
Winter, 20, posted a separate tweet in response to a social media user, stating that she was "glad" Henrie apologized, however, noted that there was a "bigger issue."
"If he wasn't a celebrity would he just be able to say sorry and walk away after bringing a loaded firearm in his bag to the airport?" questioned Winter.
She added: "I am a licensed gun owner. I would never, ever accidentally bring my firearm anywhere. I lock them up legally and know where they are at all times. That could be a deadly mistake."
According to People Magazine, Henrie, who has not yet responded to Winter's tweets publicly, is expected to appear in court on Oct. 1.
