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

A Fox News reporter was reunited with her son during a live broadcast as she covered a shooting at his school.

Alicia Acuna was reporting from outside East High School in Denver, Colorado, on Wednesday after 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. “I’m sorry, I have not seen my kid since this all went down,” she said, embracing her child. “I’ll just finish this real quick, OK?” she told her son as they hugged.

Resuming her coverage, Acuna reported that her son “was the one who was telling me what was happening” during the ordeal, combined with information from her sister, whose daughter also attends the school.

Acuna said she had been sitting at her desk working on a different story when her son texted her that there were “police officers everywhere” at school and that “the assembly was shut down, and there were cops guarding their door.”
