“Baby, Oh Thank God – There You Are!”: Emotional Fox News moment as anchor Alicia Acuna embraces her son live on air after Terrifying Ordeal, leaving viewers in Tears!

Denver-based Fox News reporter Alicia Acuna was reunited with her son live on air today following a sh00ting at his high school that left two teachers w0unded.

The mom and reporter was recording a live segment outside East High School in Denver, Colorado on Wednesday following reports a student had sh0t two staff members, when she saw her teenage son walk past.

Acuna’s attention was immediately diverted to her child, whom she urgently beckoned over.

‘Excuse me, my son just came up,’ she said. ‘I’m sorry, I’ve not seen my kid since this all went down,’ she continued, her voice beginning to break.

‘I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry,’ she kept saying as she embraced her son, who looked the part of a teenager in high school in a sweatshirt, with a mop of dark, curly hair.

Acuna’s on air colleagues told her to feel free to step aside if she needed to – but she said she was fine and her son was fine too.

‘He’s okay, he’s good,’ she said to camera.

‘He’s the one who was telling me what was happening,’ she noted, adding that her sister was also delivering updates via her child, who also attends the high school.

Following the emotional moment, Acuna quickly snapped back to her professional demeanor to say: ‘Parents definitely don’t feel like they’ve been heard, especially over the last few years as we’ve seen the effects of the shut down that it’s had on education and schools and crime in general.

‘We’ll have to see if something actually comes from this,’ she said. ‘This is a really weird thing, toggling between reporting and being a parent here, but I’m speaking as a parent.’

On Wednesday morning,  Denver high school student Austin Lyle allegedly sh0t two male staff members who were searching him for a weapon.

At present, he remains at large and on the run from law enforcement officials.

The sh00ting occurred at around 10am, after which students scattered and were evacuated from the premises.

The incident transpired during a search for a weapon that the student was subjected to every day because of ‘prior behavior.’ It is unclear why the student was allowed to continue attending the school if he was considered to be such a threat.

Lyle was described by officials as African American with an ‘afro,’ and sporting a hoodie with the word Astronaut written on it.

The suspect stands at 5’5 tall, weighs 150 pounds, and was wearing a a green hoodie at the time of the sh00ting.

‘Obviously he is @rm3d and danger0us, and is willing to use the weapon as we learned this morning,’ said Mayor Michael Hancock.

After firing multiple rounds from a handg::n, the student fled the scene and now remains on the run.

Hancock said: ‘We will find that suspect, and we will hold that suspect accountable for his actions this morning and placing everyone in danger and certainly wounding the two staff members who were doing their job and trying to keep everyone safe at the time.’

One of the staff members is in stable condition, but the other is in cr1tical c0ndition and had to undergo emergency surgery.
