Fox News Reporter Hugs Son Live On Air While Reporting On Shooting At His School

A Fox News reporter covering a school shooting was reunited with her son during a live broadcast in Denver, Colorado. Alicia Acuna was reporting outside East High School when a student produced a handgun during a search and opened fire, seriously injuring two school administrators. Acuna excused herself suddenly as she saw her son approaching and embraced him. “I’m sorry, I have not seen my kid since this all went down,” she said. “I’ll just finish this real quick, OK?”

Acuna’s son was at the school and had been texting her about the situation. He was the one who told her what was happening, combined with information from her sister whose daughter also attends the school. Acuna said her niece was hiding in a closet, texting her mom. Her two stepsons also attend East High School, and she has two children who already graduated.
