Many on social media have expressed their sadness for Harambe, the gorilla who was shot after a 3-year-old boy got into the Gorilla World exhibit at the Cincinnati Zoo.

Some took solace that he is in a better place now.

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Vince Williams expressed that same sentiment, but his reason is drawing backlash: The gorilla was from Cincinnati. He added that he "didn't drop one tear" for Harambe."

The Gorilla was from Cincinnati. I didn't drop one tear. He in a better place now.
