The "right to lifers" really don't seem to give a shit about children's right to life.

American gun regs are never going to change. The USA is a lost cause. I've officially given up.

No child should have to go through this. And in a church

WHO THE FUCK DECIDED THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA? What type of heartless ghoul are you to interview a child on live tv about being a victim in the shooting and talk about his friend getting shot? This isn’t news, it’s sensationalism for ratings.

No child should be subjected to inquiries regarding a horrible event he just experienced & seeing his friend get shot. This is not news! There is more important news regarding the death of America's democracy that should be reported. Not exploiting a 10 year old!

Words babies should never have to say 🤬

How absolutely sick it is that a 10 year old is being interviewed about this. 🖕

What a shit country to allow this to happen time and time again 💔

No excuse to put a microphone in front of a kid who’s been traumatized just moments before. Leave him alone. That goes for all kids & adults who’ve endured something like that.

Heartbreaking and completely preventable

God bless that boy…

How many millions of Americans--and the politicians they elect--are "fine" with a ten-year-old having to live through this? With it being routine?

Traumatizing generations of our children over & over & over. 💔🤬💔

Incredible and brave little boy. Heart breaks for the little lives lost, their families and all the victims of today's mass shooting. 😢

💔😢🤬

NO child should ever have to experience this trauma!

It’s BS that we normalize interviewing a small child as if it’s ok that this is allowed to happen.

Why TF are we interviewing little kids who just went through the most traumatic event of their life… kids who lost two of their classmates. This shit is weird.

It doesn’t have to be this way. As long as people continue to believe they have the right to take a life if they feel “threatened” it will be our children, as always, that we sacrifice. But we aren’t waiting for them to turn 18 anymore. Our first graders are the sacrificial lambs to protect what/1

We have convinced ourselves to believe is our right to shoot & kill other people we are in dispute with as if this is the only reasonable resolution to conflict. Permission to do what we know is evil always comes at great cost, Great loss & never ending grief. The consequences always being a life/2

For a life in perpetual retribution to no end. We have to be willing to lay down our arms & resolve our issues without fatalities. Without being ruled by fear, hate or lust for power. And those that are sure as hell shouldn’t be permitted to possess weapons of mass destruction. Yet having said /3

We are being held hostage by a fascist gov’t and those weapons may in fact become necessary to our liberation if all other means fail. Bc we can’t remove these weapons until we first remove the psychopaths that so commonly use them. It’s a Catch-22 that is the source of our inaction./4

its the guns

It’s also very much the people.

people without access to guns are much less dangerous

That’s true. But a knife kills too. Only on a smaller scale. There is something in the American culture, psyche, whatever that drives people to kill other people. On a scale that is not known anywhere else in the Western world.

I dont think that's accurate. There are murders all over the world, but less access to guns.

Most other western countries have a murder rate of around 1 and less per 100.000 people. The US is close to 6, tucked in between countries like Bolivia, Mongolia and Pakistan. The US a pressure cooker. Anger, hatred and prejudice. It is the same reason we see the very toxic political culture.

The murder rate is higher because we have more guns.

That’s counterfactual. There is no way of knowing.

There are so many things wrong about putting a 10 year old on TV to talk about this that I can’t even begin to list them. Shame on everyone!

bsky.app/profile/star...

Just remember this from 2023: #Republicans www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

And Tennessee keeps on voting for people who don't mind the mass murder of innocent human beings.

For the love of God, leave these children alone!!!!

Sad.

So sad. Only American kids have to deal with this shit. Fuck the #NRA

America. WTF?

WTF? This is normal daily life in the US.

Nothing in our country will change until we love our children more than our guns.

Poor kids are gonna carry trauma for the rest of their lives.

www.youtube.com/shorts/wVu9U...

This poor boy.... I just want to give him a huge hug!!

This poor baby. Gun violence is domestic terrorism, full stop.

We are a society that regularly sacrifices our children on the altar of gun manufacturers profits and we call ourselves civilized. American culture is a rotting carcass.

So much evil. Gun control. End NRA

Do not vote for any Republicans as they approve school shootings and refuse to reform gun control. Republicans are do m estic terrorists.

NRA owns GOP So yes, I agree

Child abuse....CNN and the parents should be ashamed.

How do we as a nation continue to let our children be exposed to these horrific acts? A ten year old boy talking about being in church and he and his friends were attacked by a gunman. We always hear about not impeding on the rights of gun owners. What about kids and their pursuit of happiness?

This is absolutely heartbreaking. He's telling all so matter of factly. Those poor, poor kids....

Didn't need this reason to turn off CNN 30+ years ago but it looks like a great decision that I made all those years ago.

Seriously, asking a child who had experienced a life-threatening situation, “…What went through your mind…” He is a child…leave him alone!!!!

Don’t say that. I was just called a “fucking ghoul” because I said that.

Please refrain from telling what to say. I was a junior high teacher when Columbine happened. Every day after, I walked into school not knowing if I, or my students, would walk out alive.

No I was just called a name for caring. I am now deleting Bluesky because I tried to say the media should have left him alone. Instead everyone is piling on me.

Don’t let them win. Please stay. We need all the voices.

Please do not delete Bluesky. Your voice matters!!!

Meanwhile, the regimes head of laughably “Homeland Security”…. has the FBI agents who should be monitoring “mentally unstable nutters” out running around our streets lassoing brown people illegally without due process, like performing cymbal monkeys 🐒 🎯

Heartbreaking. Poor kid. Poor families. It doesn’t have to be this way 😭

Heartbreaking, and shouldn’t have happened.

WHO STUCK A MICROPHONE IN A 10 YR-OLD’S FACE AFTER THIS???? 😳😳😳

Tears. It is inhumane to keep allowing these tragedies. Gun control should be the law. Republicans should play Russian Roulette among themselves, not with innocent lives.

CNN showing they have the ethics, morals and compassion of the current regime.

This was a WCCO interview. It’s a very responsible station with a good reputation. Most stations require parental consent to interview minors.

This interview of a young child is exploitative and should not be circulated. Shame on the reporter.

Gut-wrenching 😥

Fuck……

Do we care about children or not? Absolutely irresponsible to allow this child to be interviewed, to interview this child, to film this child, to broadcast this video, share this video. This post is part of the problem. I'm seeing it because @mrjoncryer.bsky.social reshared I'm unfollowing him now.

It is child exploitation.

💔💔💔

WTF. A kid your integrity sucks

JFC

Heartbreaking.

Such a brave kid. Wow.

This is just sad to watch a 10yr old talk about his friend covered him and was wounded and he felt the heat on his neck!That they have to practice like every other school in America how to stay alive when bullets start flying! I hope his friend and the others survive. But they will live this forever

America is just a cesspool. Mass shooting is now the number one cause of death for children. I hate the right for this to keep happening and will happen almost everyday! Yea. The second Amendment Does not give the right to carry war time weapons. That is used in 98% of mass shooting! It’s your blood

This is horrific for a child to go through, let alone see their friends get shot in a Church!! 🤬🙅 Where's the thoughts & prayers by a fake Christian nationalist, hypocrite Republikkkans who worships a convicted felon who's a pedophile? Just like running away from the Epstein files during recess!🤬

I'm a bit confused by Christian Nationalist, in view of how many nations they crop up in. Can we go with Christo-Fascist?

Tell that to the boards of heritage foundation, project 2025 KKK members.

"Wrapped in the flag, carrying a cross". The bastard children of John Wayne Gacey and Elmer Gantry.

How about just domestic terrorists.

Too generic. And nothing just about them.

Interviewing a 10-year old on live TV just hours after a mass shooting they experienced doesn’t sit well with me.

What a great way to treat a traumatized child! So proud to be an American

💔

This is something you will only see in the US. This is completely fucked up.

💔😭

that sweet little-boy voice slays me and makes it even more horrific to hear these events described. Many will survive, but will carry the trauma for life.

Was he an immigrant? If not, why not mention it? If he was an immigrant, you'd mention that. Why not the other way around? The subliminal brainwashing from corporate news outlets continues.

It’s irrelevant.

Only when they aren't immigrants and they don't fit the narrative.

Nonsense.

It's only nonsense if you accept the fact that news services fall all over themselves to note when an immigrant is involved in a crime, but never mention when a non-immigrant is involved in a crime.

This breaks my heart! You guys in America really worship your guns, a lot! It doesn’t have to be this way.

Not everyone. Absolutely no need for killing machine.

You clearly only know what shitty media tells you.

That’s an interesting response. I’m going on the frequency of gun related deaths actually. The data is overwhelming regarding US gun deaths when compared to most other developed countries.

They shouldn’t be interviewing 10 y/o survivors

In every broadcast newsroom I worked in, we were required to get a parent’s consent. WCCO has a good reputation. They probably have the same policy. It’s standard in the industry.

there shouldn’t be 10 year old gun violence victims. That’s the actual problem here, not who the news interviews.

Agreed and two things can’t be true at once

Keeping the 10 year old victims off of the news doesn’t do anything other than hiding the true extent of the tragedy. I think more kids should be interviewed about their experiences. They are people, and their thoughts and feelings about the issue matter.

Why not? That is the reality. No point in sugar coating it. Maybe people will listen if it comes from someone who lived it. The real issue is there should be ANY 10 year old survivors because this should not be happening.

Well, based on the experience of the Sandy Hook parents and the Parkland high school survivors, this child will be demonized by the MAGA Nazis and called a "crisis actor", perhaps they'll harass him and his family and force them to flee their home and go into hiding. Maybe that's one reason why not.

Rereading this and again blown away that you all accept this (from the shootings to the bullying to the Alex Jones bullshit). This is not normal but unfortunately is your norm. Personally I am much more upset that a school had another shooting than anything else. Absolutely nuts

Head in the sand helps no one. While I understand there is a desire to protect the child the protection should be from guns not the news. That child survived a literal war zone at school and somehow people are protecting this child from MAGA. So so so fucked up people. Just fucked up

How is not wanting to exploit a child's trauma burying my head in the sand? You need to examine your motives.

Exactly

Not exploiting. The rest of the world needs to see. The situation is so fucked that good people see the media is a problem. Wow

The child is telling the world what he lived through. Maybe if more spoke out and the US didn’t accept bullying these kids you might start changing the situation. The incident is what should be causing everyone to lose their minds NOT this child speaking out. You are ass backwards

Are you a parent? This kind of post violence “ritual” where we further intrude on the victims is feeding into the desensitization of this country and our children. Protect children. Let them process the trauma when they experience it.

It’s the composure that’s striking to me. It tells me we’ve gone way over the line when it comes to normalizing violence. No way any of my kids would be able to compose themselves like that- and perhaps the kids are in shock. But it bothers me so much the extreme shift in how we protect our kids.

EXACTLY. This is somehow normal. It is also “normal” to demand “where are this child’d parents and why is he on air”. The value system is completely fucked up. Again this will be out of the news cycle by tomorrow and people are angry this child spoke to the press. Not the fact that this is normal

So fucking weird that you are all indignant about protecting a kid from (checks notes) trauma when he just survived a shooting. Imagine living in a country that values its guns over its children and then gets all preachy about the parent allowing this child to speak about his trauma. Desensitized!

Of course you shouldn’t interview a 10 year-old right after something as traumatizing as this. This type of thing litterally only happens in the US. It is bizarre.

It only happens in the US because your country uses its little kids as targets. That’s why

Thank you!! While I don’t agree with interviewing child survivors, I do agree with ER docs who say we should see what these guns do to children. The interviews serve as a sick arm chair review of horrific events.

I raised 4 children and none of this is normal. How about you take your indignant attitude and actually put it against the fact this is a daily occurrence. “Protect the children” from being interviewed AFTER SURVIVING A SHOOTING is a really bizarre take. How about protect them FROM BEING SHOT.

Are you for real? Every day in amazed by how many folks interpret the words of complete strangers in the internet solely through their own perspective. Gtfooh with your bullshit. You have ZERO idea what I’ve done, where I’ve been, anything at all yet you got a little emotional

because I hit a nerve when asking you a simple mother fucking question. You read ALL of that into my comment. You’re part of the problem. Trigger happy individuals just waiting to go off about something. It’s painfully clear why we are where we are as a society.

Sure thing. Have a great day!

Omg really? Why don’t you read up on what happened to the Sandy Hook families afterwards, at the hands of MAGA and the rest of the fucking deniers like Alex Jones? This kid SHOULD be protected from guns AND fascists idiots

Go back and reread your post. A child survived a mass shooting and you are concerned about right wing nuts going after the kid. This isn’t normal. In fact you have normalized this sociopathic behavior. Absolutely insanity that THIS is what concerns you. Absolutely insane that you accept this

I am fully aware of what happened. Again my point is it is INSANE that a child needs to be protected from MAGA wingnuts. The US has been held hostage for how many decades over gun control and still nothing. Again by “protecting the kid from deniers” you validate their behavior.

I understand where you both are going. IMHO, society should be confronted with the reality of what means unrestricted access to weapons. On the other hand, I fear this could trivialize what is happening, not now, but due decades republicans manipulation and 2A degenerates (yes, they're degenerates).

Agreed but to muzzle a child who lived through a veritable war zone at school because of the right wing nutters is beyond comprehension.

That is true. First, protect and stabilize the children, and then we can think about asking for permission to interview them.

The ONLY CHANCE we have to address tragedies like this one today, is to VOTE OUT REPUBLICANS. THEY are the roadblock to progress in both gun control laws AND funding mental health. I live not too far from this school and I am admittedly angry.

This is heartbreaking. And infuriating.

So Wow - This is their reality Now!

This clip is chilling.

This is the world the Republican Party has created for America. A world where kids are shot at school on a regular basis.

My kid goes to a Minneapolis school, albeit on the other side of the city. It's her first day. I'm a mess right now.

Sending hugs!!🤗

Accepting hugs! Thank you!

I’m sorry. I wish more could or would be given than thoughts and prayers. As an old saying goes “faith without works is dead”.

Sigh. Her school sent out a notice soon after it hit the news. Being an open-enrollment charter school, they said that many of our students live in the neighborhood around where the shooting happened and It's possible they might know people involved. I can't even imagine.

I was tempted to write something more critical of all that’s been allowed to happen regarding this. However I thought it was the wrong time. I can’t imagine either, not knowing whether my kids would make it home alive. I wish Something would be done to change this. I’ve wished that for a long time

💙 to you

thank you

This is where I raised my kids. Our school. Our neighborhood. I can’t even sort my feelings out, except there’s a bottomless rage. Members of this community were also members of local martial arts community where we have a great kids’ program. It’s like a small town in the middle of Minneapolis.💔

Bar none, this is one of the best places to live in America. South Minneapolis is like a little small town and the intersection where Annunciation is at part of the heart of it. Just gutting. 💔

These are America's children forced to live in a war zone in their school, while in church. There is beyond reprehensible. It is commonplace, and America will fail in no small measure because there are 450 million guns and 350 million people. Do the math. #stopGunviolence

💔

Young man is taking it well. I hope he's not traumatised by it.

I hope his parents and the community have mental health counseling. As well as the children of course. I hope everyone can process this I’ve been watching a lot of European movies about 1933-1946.

I have a close relative who survived a school shooting and the emotional damage lasts for freaking decades

It never goes away. Especially when young. They were trying Inderal to help avoid PTSD. Not sure if still done after mass shootings.

America’s division combined with trigger happy gun slingers is the perfect storm. #NRA #MarchForOurLives to #StopGunViolence 👫The kids aren’t ok

This should not be happening in a civilized country, oh wait...

Maybe we shouldn't have media interviewing children about a ghastly violent, life-altering traumatic incident??? This boy already will live this day over and over again in his head for life, now he has fhk'n video to further cement this terrible day.

The fact that they are interviewing a small child who just experienced being involved in a heinous crime shows how low a priority that guns near schools are for our country. We have made them acceptable.

No child should witness that kind of horror.

Would not be surprised for this incident to be yet another GOP covert op to create more religious/racial tension and division.

😢

Kid, I am so sorry that Republicans don't care enough about you to even try to stop this from happening again.

Deplorable using a trauma victim in this way.

Americans are no longer safe in our own country. No gun control and so-called ICE attacking people without warrants, wearing masks with no ID. Republicans have ruined our country. Make America great again by getting rid of Republicans who terrorize citizens and immigrants.

Sad

Who thinks it’s okay to interview this kid on tv after he has been through such a traumatic event?! WHO?!!!

I’m sure we’ll see more outrage about that than the fact that people can obtain weapons of war in civil society.

Poor kids.

Heart breaking.

Just a note-the reporter received permission from this child's parents to interview him. That was made clear while watching it on MSNBC.

Maybe we fucking shouldnt? And you know help him instead of plastering his face on the news

Maybe now would be a good time for a nation-wide gun seizure! The U.S. has significantly more mass gun shootings and a far higher rate of gun violence compared to other high-income countries. For example, the U.S. firearm homicide rate is 26 times higher than in other high-income countries!

This brought me to tears.

OMG fuck CNN so hard. “What went through your mind when you saw [your friend had been shot]?!!l” Miserable bloodthirsty ratings whores that don’t give two shits about the mental health of this child. Absolute ghouls.

Media need to leave these kids alone. It’s heartbreaking how calm this kid is about the incident, because sadly they are accustomed to the violence 😢 Instead media should be questioning our President and administration about gun control!

Most broadcasters get a parent’s consent before interviewing minors. It’s required at most stations.

The evil that inhabits Trump and all of MAGA struck here in Minneapolis in the first week of school. This sad event should be a powerful reminder that much of America's been making suicidal election choices for some time. Will enough voters hear the quiet whisper that what we reap, we sow?

Beyond heartbreaking and infuriating

DO NOT INTERVIEW INNOCENT BABIES!!!!!! 😢

It's infuriating that this, not just happens, but happens numbingly often. It's wrong to be interviewing this child right now, he needs to process. The saddest part, people need to watch this, & let it sink in how disturbed our country is right now

It appears that he was being prompted by his dad. I'll bet that Dad is jonesing for his own 15 minutes...

Dad hasn't processed this yet either. As a nation we crave the sensationalized violence that is becoming US. It is neither normal nor healthy, it inhibits real progress. I don't like living where I can be shot by a lunatic, or picked up by he national police for rights violations. Damn the GOP

I read "The Shipping News" many years ago. It's a Novel about sensationalist journalism in a Newfoundland town. It was a dead ringer for CNN's reporting. I stopped watching CNN then. Then there was that Don Henley song. There is a huge difference between reporting tragedy and exploiting tragedy

Unfathomable that we have people in Congress refusing to fucking fix this. Regulate guns like other responsible nations and we wouldn’t be watching children discuss their friends being shot in the back at school.

This is who we are now. This won’t be treated any differently than any other. With the exception that MAGA will only focus on the shooter being transgender. You won’t hear a damn thing about these kids other than performative thoughts and prayers to a God they don’t even remotely emulate.

Please find a better maturity test, US! (he passed the current one, anyway)

Fuck you @cnn.com You fucking ghouls.

Unbearable 💔

There's something extra twisted about interviewing a child who has just experienced a trauma that will impact the rest of their lives. They're so fixated on getting a scoop. Zero empathy.

This is America, where Americans are OK with school shootings.

It’s the guns!

Heartbreaking, but a 10 year hold is capable of processing a tragedy with clarity. I hope he and all his schoolmates are able to heal fully.

This is just wrong . The poor young boy when thru something horrible . He still hasn’t processed all this yet . Wish the media would hound Trump like they to this little boy

Shock hasn’t hit little boy yet , but the media hounding him is shameful

WHY do parents allow this type of interview of a CHILD following a tragedy?

Maybe because they hope a mind will be changed.

The minds that need to be changed are sitting on Capitol Hill. They have had ENDLESS opportunities to break the grip of the gun lobby and they can't because they are beholden to them. FUCK THE SECOND AMENDMENT. Let's become a civilized nation in the 21st century.

I resolved after the Las Vegas massacre to question every politician who asked for my vote about gun laws. Surprisingly, a state senate candidate — a Democrat for whom I had held a fundraiser — believed in a hands off policy. And he was a retired school superintendent.

You are interviewing 10 year olds 😡 America you don’t give a shit about your kids!

This should break everyone's heart 😞

Why is the media interviewing a CHILD, right after such a traumatic experience?!? Omgggg 🤮

What happens when a generation of children experience school shootings?

Poor kids are gonna be traumatized forever because of this 😔

The disgrace of a nation is letting their children be attacked because a few people who make a lot of money taught Americans to be afraid of their neighbors. Thoughts and prayers mean nothing to the dead.

The utter despicable shame of interviewing children after a mass shooting for ratings. Fuck those involved @cnn.com burn in hades eternal shame.

And then the media putting those same children on broadcast news to talk about their experience hours after the mass shooting at their school. What are we even doing America?!

The media is the problem? Fuuuuck

Trump says he can do whatever he wants to Apparently he doesn't want to end school shootings bsky.app/profile/atru...

This one hit me hard

We should not have our kids talking about this so immediately after this happens. The media did a poor job here.

If the GOP was as concerned about guns as they are about hoagies our children wouldn't be afraid to go to school.

🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

Why are we allowing this to happen to our babies?!!!!!!!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

America 2025.

Not one family at that school should be having their kids, who will have nigtmares for years, to be interviewed about what they witnessed---reporters and parents do BETTER---they are children!

This poor kid does not even know he will have PTSD at some point. Why is the US doing this?!

Geezus…

this feels wrong

Sooo sad 😢

Heartbreaking

OMG.....how heartbreaking. 💔

Looks like Bluesky is very quiet on this. Wonder way.

They are sooo used to the drills he is talking so normal

Can the media ghouls leave the traumatised kid alone!? Instead they should be badgering politicians who insist on watering down gun laws.

For the love of God, leave these children alone!!!!

How sad is it that this kid is not completely crying? He’s so conditioned that he’s able to speak matter of fact about his experience. Run enough active shooter drills & you completely desensitize kids to things that shouldn’t be allowed. Yes we allow this stuff. We as a society allow it to happen.

I get your point but people react to trauma in very different ways, not just by crying. Our nervous systems are complex and it’s okay and normal for kids, or anyone, to react in different ways.

Republicans have failed all of our children.

They are much too young to suffer PTSD, yet, here we are. 💔

Can't fucking watch this

No chance of gun reform while republicans hold the reins!

www.gunviolencearchive.org

wHY ARE media poking microphones and cameras into these kids' faces - they will see this forever

We will never know the truth of this — or anything — again.

Do you see how he's talking about it? Like he's talking about the weather? Our poor children. Desensitized to EVERYTHING. 😭

America is sick. A child should be able to go through this. Sick, sick, sick.

Let’s use this child’s trauma to make a profit, shall we @cnn.com ?

That a child has to go through such a traumatic experience is a travesty! When it comes to the lack of laws regarding gun control, the USA just doesn’t “get it”. They say “guns don’t shoot people”…..nonsense! Guns most certainly do shoot people! It’s way past time to smarten up!

Eric Schmitt will get a photo op posing a prayer outside his Catholic church and then head right to a guns and ammo event. Deadly cycles by design.

That kid spoke remarkably well for someone who experienced such a horrific situation.

Probably the adrenaline keeping him focused. What a sweet little boy. I hope his friend is okay. I hope he’ll be okay. 😭

So sad that he was interviewed. No one said where his parents were.

🙏🏻💕

This is what our kids have had to suffer. So much trauma when they are so young. But republicans want that NRA money. They care more about money and their jobs than these poor little kids. Sickening.

WHO THE FUCK PUT THIS TRAUMATIZED MINOR ON CAMERA???? This whole Media sphere is SO FUCKED UP! AAAAAAGGGHHHHHH get these people some loving arms! FUCK CNN! yah.. I'm triggered a bit.

I’m crying watching this video. Just. Ugh.

So wrong.😢 Shame WCCO.

Caring more about preventing kids from being interviewed than shot to death in school is peak America 2025. I live in a country of clowns. Maybe save the umbrage for the dead kids.

Horrific. This kid, after his friend was shot. Why do we have to keep doing this?

Fuck is this? What the fuck is America?

Why are children survivors being interviewed? Disgusting.

@princessmom122.bsky.social Heartnbreaking.....what are we doing to these babies? 😥

Trump must me jealous of the kid getting good ratings.

His little voice carries the message that we have failed him and every other child with our political choices for generations, which have led to a deep moral rot in American society.

America is a sick country.🍻🇨🇦

Failed country.

Shithole

These kids are going to be traumatized. WTF kind of journalists interview children after this event! What happened to the integrity of journalists! 🤬

WHAT THE FUCK AMERICA????

😭😭🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Who the fuck are these assholes doing this to him???

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO This child shouldn't have been on national TV. He's minutes after having shots go past him & "there was gun powder on my neck." What are you, TMZ?

Dreadful for a child to forever live with this horror.

Our children have become so numbed to this type of trauma. That is inexcusable.

This is heartbreaking.

The media has no bottom. Interviewing a child after what just happened. Heartless.

We’re an stupid evil country and we deserve the bad things that are happening to us. The kids don’t though, it’s too bad they have to pay the price for our foolishness.

This is America

Growing up under the shadow of possible nuclear anihilation in the Reagan 80s, no child should go through this. No wonder the entire country has PTSD

the media today. not covering any negative things about trump but lets fucking drag a 10 year old in front of a camera shortly after he survived a mass shooting. as a parent i would sue the shit out of them.

Hey, reporter. How about telling your producer LIVE on air, "How about you interview the kid?" and drop the mic. JFC, CNN.

CNN did not conduct this interview. WCCO did.

Classic American to interview a 10-year-old survivor of a school shooting right after it happened. Maybe focus more on the child’s mental health than getting front page news. Everything that is wrong with that country in one video clip.
