The network said the "Bones" episode, which centers on the discovery of human remains on a college campus, would be inappropriate, E! News said Tuesday.
"Out of sensitivity to the victims and families touched by this senseless tragedy, we felt the change was appropriate," a Fox spokesperson said.
Fox will air a previous episode instead. "Bones," starring Emily Deschanel David Boreanaz, is the network's fourth-most watched scripted series after "House," "24" and "Prison Break."
