This is what Tegna owned KVUE (Austin) posted on their website: 

During our breaking news coverage of the Austin bombings, the closed captioning text included a typographical error in which the words “this monkey” appeared in a sentence about 17-year-old bombing victim Draylen Mason (pictured).

We want to be clear that this typographical error was NOT made by any employee of KVUE. We contract with VITAC -- an outside company -- to live caption our newscasts. We are taking this mistake very seriously and we are heartsick about this terrible error.
