Reporter reunites with son on-air after Denver school shooting

A Fox News journalist reporting on a shooting at a Denver high school on Wednesday was reunited with her son in an emotional on-air moment.

Alicia Acuna spotted her son, a student at East high school, as she was reporting at the scene after a 17-year-old student shot and wounded two school administrators earlier. ‘Excuse me, my son just came up, and I had not seen him,’ Acuna says in the middle of the broadcast. She then embraces her son. East high school was placed on lockdown as police investigated the shooting.

That was just heartwarming. How did she not break down and cry? I did!

She didn't need to apologize for hugging. It must have been tough for her why her son doing the school shooting. I don't know how she still did her jobs. I don't know how she kept together reporting the school shooting. I'm happy she saw her son and give him a hug.😂❤🙏👪👩‍❤️‍👨❤️🎉

It's nice the interviewer to tell the reporter if you need step aside please do. They are very understanding

[LittentheQueen]

So they let a reporter cover the news who doesn't know her child is safe starting the news report? Bad employer.

I didn't think I was gonna cry today

I live in the UK... I've never had to worry about gun violence in my home city. I've never had to worry about school shootings. I've never had to wait for the call to confirm if my child has been another victim. It beggars belief that after all the gun violence in the US, you still allow these weapons to be freely sold and owned. So long as the gun companies profit from the death of your children, that's what counts isn't it? And you'll always be offered the thoughts and prayers from your state representatives who all recieve funding from the military industrial complex? ☮

Dang she handled that really well. I would have broke down!

[cybrfriends]

The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun, is not to sell him a gun in the first place

[ccramit]

Why she even felt the need to apologize? No apology necessery.

[loveimani]

I know she wanted to break down. I’m so glad he as safe.

Fox News praising Jared Polos? The woman WAS in an emotional moment, she wasn’t being the robotic clone they want her to be.

I hope one of these days ! At least we can figure it out … how we can control illegal guns from the streets . There was a very young kid . I kind of knew him . He went to buy a gun on the street … he killed him self accidentally not knowing how to operate… He was 17es years old…

[blueknight]

She either has poor judgement or a very bad news editor.

Edit: I pray that the people replying never have children
