That little girl is so brave to talk on camera like this. Praying for all of the victims and their families ❤
I think I saw her bowling teacher being interviewed on another channel. He was talking about evacuating people.
Not praying but getting active against this crazy weapons in the US
The look in the daughters eyes is pure shock. I hope she can find some help in processing this asap. Poor baby.
As a grown man, hearing this little girl speak was truly heartbreaking. And made my eyes leak.
same. this world is not right. she should never have to go through something like this.
"Do you feel like you're still in shock"? Wtf you really had to ask such a dumb question??? Of course she's still in shock, it JUST happened!!!
Lol what an idiot smh
What a beautiful little girl. She is so solid, well-spoken, and has a very good, clear memory of what happened. I wish her a good life going forward. So disturbing, no way to know how this will affect her in the years to come.
Her childhood ended.
@@jrag1000 So well said.
Yes, you're right.
My dad brought something up watching all this stuff.
He said during Vietnam the news would show images and video of kids running down the road in Vietnam with their skin burned off from napalm. Public opinion quickly turned against the war.
Fast forward to today and the news goes out of its way to sanitize these mass shootings. Well see a helicopter view of the crime scene, listen to a cop talk, show the numbers killed, ect but we never see the blood and guts.
I'd bet that after seeing a classroom of dead kindergarteners blood, guts and bodies piled up that it wouldn't be long until things changed.
Could you imagine the NRA president talking about his rights on the news beside a panel of dead children?
You’re a Liberal mook😒
People aren’t going to give up their rights because some OTHER psychopath did something.
@@topicalstormofficialSadly no one carry their RIGHTS to that bowling alley.
I guess you missed the giant lesson taught in Israel on October 7th when Hamas invaded multiple Kibbutz to execute and kidnap innocent civilians and there were very few armed guards to stop it because like you Israelis thought they would be safer without guns. They developed an irrational phobia thanks to leftist propaganda. Israel is now handing out military weapons to any civilian that wants some but for many years in the past folks kept firearms on or close to themselves for this very reason. You need mental health counseling because you're afraid of or place blame on inanimate objects. Do you blame forks and spoons for obesity, or furniture legs for stubbed toes, or pens and pencils for misspelled words? Had people been armed at the soft targets that this crazed killer targeted he very likely would have been stopped very early into his rampage. Btw the NRA was integral in fighting anti-gun laws focused on preventing free black folks from defending themselves against the clan with guns. The NRA sets the firearm proficiency standards used by U.S. military and law enforcement as well, moron.
"Sandy Hook marked the end of the U.S. gun control debate. Once America decided killing children was bearable, it was over.” Nothing will change. The NRA president would say "if you arm all the teachers/staff in school, this would not have happened". It's crazy.
I feel like the little girl is strong to be able to talk about that horrible situation.
this is exploitative... these people are in shock, can they even truly consent to this interview?
It may have to come to kids speaking out because God knows the adults are not doing crap. Be more angry about our children being murdered
technically yes,they aren't being drugged or coerced, it might not be a great idea,but its their choice to do this,trauma and various things may have been factors.
I agree, the publics right to know must be subordinate to the victims humanity. The little girl is literally looking through the interviewer. She is present in body only.
Dr Phil agrees.
The adult, yes. The child shouldn’t be on camera.
She is a good Mum and Toni is one brave kid. Bob. New Zealand.
Therapy is going to be need for everyone! This is so sad and infuriating that this continuing to happened to regular people in our country. My condolences to all victims ' families. RIP.
This is ridiculous, at 6:28 is the last straw, like... come on, what kind of a question is that?? Of course she thought her life was in danger, of course she feared for her life. It's been less than 24 hour and this interviews gone up for the whole nation to see, let these people take some time to process!! The way this reporter is going about this interview is almost purposely trying to evoke trauma and reminders of what happened literally just hours ago to them....
I wonder what it would've taken for the reporter to show a little emotion/compassion/empathy for this mom and child. No need to be so stoic when they have been so traumatized. Good grief.
Poor kid, you can see the shock on both of their faces, but even more so on hers.😢
Prayers to the family of victims.. 🙏
It’s all dramatics. Our society loves it and feeds on it. Stop
Are they providing mental health counselors to all these people? They shouldn’t have to deal with this by themselves
That poor little girl 😭 My heart hurts for her and everyone else who was a witness to those tragic events, or was directly affected by them. My heart hurts for our state.
This child should be speaking with a psychologist to help her process what occurred. This is irresponsible journalism. The mother should be shielding her child from the press right now.
I'm honestly sick of reporters asking children involved in these shootings their account of what happened to them.
Absolutely heartbreaking. This horrendous assault has devastated so many people's lives. I use to work with Tricia at a Distribution Center in Lewiston, she was a happy beautiful woman. My sons youth bowling instructor was murdered and his wife shot too. We don't the status of her. There hasnt really been any updates on other victims or survivors...I can't comprehend why this could happen. Being a parent of 5 has me terrified and on edge like never before. Stay safe guys and make sure you have protection for you and your families. My heart and prayers go out to all.
Why do they interview these people so soon after the incident?? They are so traumatized 😢
I’ve been in this situation. It’s not a lot of screaming it’s alot of big eyes and figuring out what to do with the people around you. Run, hide or fight. We hid and got locked in a mall for hours. It’s calm and maybe some quiet crying but has to be silent otherwise these people can find you and get you.
She’s precious and so articulate and horrified by this I don’t understand how she’s going to get this out of her sweet mind 🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭
Hearing the girl tell her story.. is heartbreaking this world is so cruel man.
You were both brave in sharing this traumatic experience. I am so sorry to hear about your family member and pray that God eases this pain and continues to comfort you and all the families during this time.
Seeing that baby Sitting there, having gone through this yet still so innocent and unaware, really made me cry
Sorry, this news interview seems too scripted and this child being exploited. Mom(?) butts in when child is asked when she saw her again and says this morning???? WTF????? Where was she all that time, where did she stay, why would you wait til next morning to find your own child? If they're like 99.99% other mothers and daughters in US they both have cell phones. Makes zero sense.
she said she lost her phone in the shooting
@@GropeZero LMAO and the child had no idea where she lived? Who she stay with and why wouldn’t the first thing they think of be to just take her home? This is why the media is able to lie all the time. You people don’t think.
I agree ... This all seems so scripted .. ..nothing makes any sense from start to finish ... Everybody has a phone ..but not one person uses social media to describe where they were or what happened. ... This isn't real trauma ..go watch old footage of Columbine . That's how real people who have been in a traumatic experience act
Quick to do interviews. Is this part of the script?
For sure ... Calling bullshit on this one
JFC ABC, that child just went through a huge traumatic experience. Let them heal before putting a mic on their face. Be better.
my dearest condolences
Something is really off with this interview😮
Because it's scripted bullshit ...
They both look traumatized. Why interview them now?
My child just went through the scariest thing now let's shove a camera in her face to interview her for veiws! Great parenting.
This is ridiculous - who would be interviewing a child over a traumatic event as described. Makes no sense. The flag is false with this one.
What a great interview. Sensitively done while still eliciting details. Well done.
What????
Seriously?
I wish we had found out why they were so separated for so long. That is important to learn. Do you think she answered it and they just cut it out for some reason~? One other guy, who managed to get half his kids out, said that he saw the shooters gun jam or malfunction or run out of bullets, one. And no shooting after that moment. Perhaps that is why this Mom's life was saved. I am thankful these two are safe and very sorry for all families who lost someone and who had to go through this terrifying ordeal.
They set up a reunification center at a middle school, but it took a while. The mom may have been taken to the hospital to be evaluated. Everyone local was in lockdown all day yesterday
God bless that sweet baby! 😭❤️🙏
So very scary. 💔 My thoughts and votes are with the victims and families. 💙
What a brave little girl❤
RIP to all! May God bless everyone!
Are u in shock?? It just happened yesterday great reporting
My sincerest condolences and prayers.
Condolence's to all Family and Friends of the deceased, So SAD!!!! May all the injured have a Miraculous Healing!!!!
😊
I live in maine. this event happened approx 40 mi away from me. this whole situation is devastating to our state of only 1.3M people. no ONE should EVER experience something like this. especially a child. we all know what the problem is. and it won’t get fixed. get used to it. the “new normal”
Same I fully agree with you!
May God bless this sweet little girl. She is so brave to be on camera telling her experience. However… she should not have to be made to or allowed to be on camera like this. This is so horrifically sad for her. i hope that she does not resent this one day and I hope that she is healed from this and the PTSD that is clearly already present in her sweet soul. God bless and protect her sweet spirit.
This mom is traumatizing her daughter even more! Wtf is wrong with her??? Making her go on TV AND talking about all of that right in front of her not even a fucking day after it happened. Absolutely disgusting. She’s already traumatized by her own experience but she’s making it sooooo much worse for her. This is mind blowing that someone would do this after such a horrific tragedy.
I grew up in the hood near a gambling/bootleg shack. I was 7 years old the first time I saw someone shot to death. Young minds are fairly resilient in processing these matters. Not talking about it is much worse than discussing it. You can't pretend that you didn't see what you just experienced.
I agree. This woman it’s just taking the parole for everything when the kid was the person inside the horrific situation. C’mon😮
Do you feel like you’re still in shock? One day later? Stop!! This is so fake. Everyone wants the attention and feeds off the drama. Even you as an audience, feeds into it. At the end “did you think she could die?” So much drama in this interview. It’s driven to cause entertainment in-spite of these people’s terrible experience
Maybe it's healing to talk about what happened like this?
Total BS
Reporter with ZERO EMPATHY 😢😮
THIS IS HEARTWRENCHING AND SCARY! PRAISE GOD THEY BOTH ARE SAFE! PRAYERS FOR THE OTHERS AND THEIR FAMILY!
Damn …..maybe wait til he is caught before putting folks on camera. 🙄
She says "it doesn't feel real"? Seems the victim's always say that....
The practice drill was last year.....
Heartbreaking; I can’t imagine the fear and worry.
Thank you for this video.
7:45 Somebody else said the exact same thing. That it was NOT a spree-sprawling like shooting but rather a specific one, pop - next, pop, next- pop, etc.
I feel a little uncomfortable about the child discussing this on camera.
I feel ALOT uncomfortable. Not appropriate at all.
This is becoming more and more normal and it’s terrifying! These poor people!
Bless that little girl. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Personally i think theres nothing worse to happen to any human being that fear and tauma of thinking you are going to die and having afterwards to live with those sounds and screams of trauma in your head all the time i pray that the Lord will be with everybody that has been affected by these traumas may God be with you and keep you and guide you through this very difficult time
Its crazy to me on every other interview I watched most of the comments are praising the interviewer i think his name is Chris. Saying how hes such a great genuine reporter while this reporter for obvious reasons (black) is being chastised for asking the same types of questions. Further proving the hypocrisy here
I get that this reporter is covering the horrific crime but dang she didn’t comfort them and showed no compassion or empathy. Poor lady and her daughter I’m so very sorry that they went through such a horrible situation. I’m glad they are safe but I hope they both get counseling and therapy. Prayers for the survivors and families of the victims. 🙏🏻
“did you think you were going to die?”
lady has no decorum.
God Bless all of you, the whole community and all involved. The Lord will help you through all this. 😢😢❤❤
This is the worst day in bowling.
My thoughts and prayers are with the leagues.
Make America Bowl Again.
The mother and her daughter are in shock and are going to need therapy.
When I was a kid we swerved over a body in the road once and I thought that was traumatic.. can’t imagine witnessing such a messy death .
So special how some of the workers risked their own lives to help people.
Holy people.
GOD sees and knows
Putting a child on camera after something like this is disgusting. Let the adults talk, but children should be given privacy and support, not paraded out like this.
"And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be save," Matthew 24:12-13.
C’mon ABC! These questions that bring vivid, horrendous flashbacks to a child should not be asked at this moment. Shame on you ABC and shame on you miss reporter👎🏻
I’m so thankful the daughter didn’t see more than she did.
I feel that there is a deeper issue to all these mass shootings in this country. I feel that there is an underlying laying problem with people in this society need urgent help…it’s not the gun that’s the problem! It’s the people who need help now. Some one needs to figure it out what’s wrong.
@@dddd-vf8zm It truly is the end of a nation.
Very smart articulate little girl! Very bright future ahead of her!
Stupid questions the reporter is asking are way too sensitive to be asking them right after a tragedy like this!!
1:18 Geeze, they are both talking about her as if she isn't even there. The reporter started it. I like to hear people's accounts and I am sure it helps them a little to talk about it but reporters ask the stupidest questions and I get real tired of them, real fast. Let's hope this one improves from this first minute.
Poor people to experience such torture, their lives will never be the same. How many people’s lives have to continue to experience such horror, for our gun laws to be restricted. My heart goes to these families.
Ya i'm really sure the guy would have huffed and puffed, because there was a law in the way of him obtaining his goals.
The sad reality that even a grown woman can't take it. The only way or ways the brain is trying to survive and process this is via saying the incident isnt that real and that you're dreaming. Thats the unfortunate reality of how the minds validate this just to survive the trauma.
Why is this poor girl sitting on the interview…she doesn’t seem ok
Zero emotion from this reporter. Wow
She's a reporter. It's not her job. Stop being a pu$$y
The woman that is interviewing is EXTRAORDINARILY INSENSITIVE to that poor child.
The fact that the neighborhood families arent willing to give any information about the Card Family, is very fishy...
This is just cruel to interview them & retraumatize them!! Got 2 get those ratings!
Why they did this interview in front of this child 😭
Oh so unnecessary this interview - shame on the newsstation for doing this interview ! Bless this mother and daughter as they are recovering processing this tragedy and also loss.
What a crock...
I never seen so many shootings in October there been two mass shootings before in October like the one in Nevada and the other one
People are commenting that the girl is brave - she is but why is she in this position? Why is America ok having its children bear this life-long trauma if they’re lucky enough to survive?
That interview shouldn't have been conducted with Her Daughter there. Mom and Her will need Therapy going Forward hopefully time will heal that moment in Time that they will never ever forget
Worse reporter ever!. My God so inhumane , not one “I’m sorry this happened to you” or “you are so brave for sitting here speaking to me about what happened” . This lady is still crying and traumatized, while the reporter not once asked her to take a moment. Just question after question . Do a better job! This is so wrong. Poor mom and daughter 😞
I hate stories like this, weak people taking aggressions out on unarmed people, it’s sickening. He ran and is hiding like a coward, he’s probably held up in a hole somewhere with a months supply of military rations.
This is exploitative. The next day, and they hadn’t even gotten to talk until that morning? They can’t fully consent while they’re in so much shock. They shouldn’t have been asked to do this in the first place.
Inappropriate to put that little girl in that position on camera. Talk with the mother, not the child. Don't make her re-live it. She's in shock.
What are their names?
Those are some bad actors…the daughter didn’t have an answer to the when did you next see your mother and the mom jumps in to say not until this morning…so these 2 survived a mass shooting and were separated all night and upon their reunion, the mom wants to give an interview lol yea ok… it just doesn’t feel real…cuz it ain’t lol
How horrible
If I couldn't find my daughter I would have been screaming her name interesting...this mother never once said she was calling for her daughter...
She feels guilty because she was looking out for herself, not her kid
These things are so surreal. Not sure why media asks idiotic questions.
“Where one burns books, one will, in the end, burn people.”
How is that quote at all relevant to this tragedy??
It went over your head. was that bus yellow. you know the one you road to school. I bet this goes over your head too.@@ZackWilliams_TheProducer
oh balogna,, look at what books were being burned.
it is not even remotely relevant@@ZackWilliams_TheProducer
We shouldn’t put these poor people camera right after they experience something so tragic. ESPECIALLY a child.
Thanks Lord for your salvation
Glad he's not African American
“how have you been explaining this to Tony?” I guess on national news
Unfortunately, this is just another day in the US. The noise will subside, then it will happen again. The noise will subside, then happen again.
