    I am in tears. I can feel his love and heartbreak. He speaks so highly of his daughter and his wife. I hope his family gets through this tragedy. I just want to this dad. So heartbreaking the way he found out. Rip to all the little angels and the adults who passed.

    i love how Anderson Cooper interviews people, very empathetic. we need more journalists like him, a journalist with heart.

      Anderson made fun of Billy Corgan for holding cats in a magazine by the way. A real dickhead move.

      I am sure covering these devastating events takes a toll on him. He was just in the Ukraine for a long time, at least in the beginning months of the war and saw first hand the horrors there as well.

    All of my admiration to Anderson for how he handles these interviews. He doesn't ask too many questions or even say things like "I'm so sorry," he just holds space for the parents and helps them tell their stories. As a new father himself I can't imagine how hard that must have been.

      I thought the same thing. Anderson also lost his only sibling-his brother to suicide. So he understands what it is like to lose someone suddenly. As a father himself this really hits home. I am praying for that family and all the families affected by this shooting.

      That's true I also thought he did well with it. It would be so difficult as a news reporter to ask questions, and be consoling, and also appropriate and respectful. That's a fine line. He did a good job.
      And also idk how they're able to hold it together in these kinds of interviews, that are done in the most horrific of circumstances. I would be so emotional no way I couldn't be 🥺

      Though I sympathize with your feelings, Anderson along with CNN's producers really deserve to prosecuted. At the very least, they were incredibly unprofessional. First off, they choose this ridiculously amateurish actor to play the role of father to one of the little girls. Then, after other news outlets have already interviewed the same "father", CNN tries to cover for their mistake by choosing a different actor to play the same part later on that same day! That's unprofessional.
      And to top it all off, their replacement "father" for the same girl was almost as bad as their first choice. Any way you look at it, CNN is definitely losing it big time. The words of dear old Andy of Mayberry come to mind. "Sad....Saaaaaaad!"

    The people in this man's family just sound so loving and lovely, he managed to give a insight into a beautiful family. I can't even fathom the kind of pain having to go through the loss of a child and I mourn for his loss of his daughter and the beautiful times they could have had in the future. My sincere condolences to all the families who have lost their loved ones in this shooting 😥💟
    The NRA and Republicans as a party and their voters have blood on their hands, no doubt about that.
