So their son was MURDERED 24 hours ago and the ONLY CALL they got was from the FBI telling them they have to move his car before it gets towed?? Wtf is wrong with this country????
How awful! Why didn't the authorities contact victim's families? I can't imagine how painful this has been for them losing their son and having to look all over the place to find him deceased.
They would have. But the disaster happened and with news and social media people usually find out sooner from those outlets than authorities can. Remember they are working with many people dead and injured. Identifying and getting contact information for 45 people takes time. This happened at 3:15 am and the families were looking for loved ones only a few hours later.
@@jmm8305yes they need to contain the scene organize sections into those living and those dead it like you said was 3am it seems cold but everyone was also in shock also as I worked in the hospital when I was younger you had to follow procedure find social workers and chaplains to help my heart goes out to everyone such a senseless tragedy
I don't think they did find out quickly from social media though. Why wasn't someone assigned to gather personal info and contact next of kin? They had families calling LE and hospitals all over the city trying to get info m and emergency contact info was probably available on their driver's license or state ID.
@ The next morning they knew that their son didn’t come home that night/morning. They knew from the media that the event had happened. Don’t know if it was social media or news or whatever. They tried to contact their son. Then they tried to contact his friends. They found out from the friends. Not every adult’s friends are necessarily going to have contact information for their friends parents. Likely the friends were in shock. It takes time to identify bodies and get contact information. I’m not saying everything was handled correctly but I’m saying it takes time. For them to identify process and get next of kin information on 45 people is going to take longer than a few hours. Also FBI took over the situation and they are not going to contact family and give information until they feel like they have the right information. It’s a delicate balance and it’s just not going to happen in a few hours.
We as a nation are all with you. We are so sad and so sorry for your great loss. This should not ever have happened. You’re very brave. Thank you for talking so soon after your loss. Bless you both so much.
Where’s the Victim Advocates, Religious Organizations??? I feel parents needed to see their boy prior to autopsy. He is a good looking young man. I’m sure he’s being sorely missed. My heart goes out to his lovely parents. And, to ALL of those Grieving families 🤲🏻✌🏻
I was robotic when my sons were injured-both in ICU. It wasn’t until 3 mos later, PTSD reared its ugly head after auto-pilot/adrenalin wore out. My boys lived. They have a hard road ahead. Pray for them.
Can Ashley go an interview without cutting the guest off!? I swear she has become so insensitive, maybe it comes with the business and having to do this for so many years - That is downright cruel the way they found out about their son‘s passing. I am so sorry for your loss ❤
I'm sorry I just find it extremely strange when family members speak about the death of a close relative SO SOON AFTER the incident. WOW. I can't imagine that not even 48 hours later they are just freely and casually talking. I don't get it.
Have you ever grieved someone as close to you as a brother or a son? Its shocking to me that you would so freely try to push guilt and shame upon this family when you have no idea what they are going through. I find it disheartening.
Interviewer … you are asking very delicate questions within a short period of time since this happened. I commend this couple for speaking with you. God bless them.
I will never understand how parents can sit there and be interviewed after they have lost a child. Why don't they sit and mourn with the rest of their family, and take good care of them selves. ? My heart goes out to you.
Everyone mourns differently, I didnt cry until two weeks after my mom died because I had so many things to take care of to bury her- it didnt hit me till later
So horrible to not be able to see your son. But i did hear from another channel, once it's a crime scene, it changes the expectations of getting to see your loved one. Ugh..damn.
A tragedy that may have been prevented if the city did their job and had those strong barriers up. My opinion. They know we live in a dangerous time. How incompetent.
@@wingedinfinity777 these people just lost their son and ur judging them for going on tv "to soon" to talk about it ? They have a hole in their hearts that can never be healed. Have some respect.
I am so sorry for your loss. I’m heartbroken that they had to find out the way that they did and haven’t been treated more delicately. You’d think the families of these victims would be treated with such care at this time! This is very disheartening to hear and disappointing. Also, his vehicle about to be towed? Come on City of NOLA!
What is wrong with what is happening in the world. So much anger,so much hatred. Why? We are all on this side for a short time. Why hurt each other. Tears come to my eyes when I see and hear what is happening. I keep praying for a better tomorrow and I am hopeful.
This is unacceptable, I don't care what kind of investigation you are doing, they had every right to see their son. It is part of the grieving process as well, they need to see with their own eyes. They didn't have to touch him, as if that would have mattered. I'm sure kissing your son on the head would not have caused the investigation to go up in smoke.
I believe it's terrible to have to conduct your own research to see if your relative is still amongst the living or not!!! SMH!!! Prayers and love vibes to all affected!
I know you need to do news, but maybe, sometimes, you need to realize that now is NOT THE TIME and their feelings are more important than your news story.
@@wingedinfinity777 WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT! SO THEY DIDN'T TURN IT DOWN! WHAT'S THERE TO COMPREHEND OF SMELL! THEY DIDNT TURN DOWN AN INTERVIEW! THEY WANT TO GET THEIR BOYS STORY OUT THERE! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU !!!!YOU DON'T GET THAT THEY WANTED TO DO THE INTERVIEW?
Please give these sweet sweet devasted parents time to grieve. What you're doing is heartbreaking 💔 😢 Condolences to all who are having to endure this tragedy. 😢
Wow! FBI worrying his parents about moving his vehicle! Whoever owns the lot trying to tow it...shameful!!! I would let them keep his car there as long as they want in light of what just happened.
I saw a video after the truck wrecked and gunshots ringing out. I thought I saw someone shot and fall as soon as the gunfire started. So sorry for their loss.
This breaks my heart. So sorry for your loss,
So their son was MURDERED 24 hours ago and the ONLY CALL they got was from the FBI telling them they have to move his car before it gets towed?? Wtf is wrong with this country????
that is vile
Lack of God in many lives.
A lot.
So unfair to these parents

One of those incidents that was totally mishandled, just like the Afghanistan withdrawl. Like nobody else cared.

They had families calling LE and hospitals all over the city trying to get info m and emergency contact info was probably available on their driver's license or state ID.

Unbelievable what these parents are going through.
They seem strong 😢 😕 😔 😕
So true. His father looked like he was going to collapse at any moment. The grief is unbearable.

Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you
My heart breaks for the victims of this horrific crime ❤️🩹
My heart felt prayers to you and your family 🙏
Don't make any sense 😒 😕
And they are bugging the parents to come get their sons car or it will get towed! Goodness!! How insensitive.

Rest in Peace...Condolences to the parents
No words 💔 😢
I’m crying right now watching this
Just beyond tragic...
Beyond 😮

Nope.

My heart goes out to you parents.
I’m praying for you both. I’m so heartbroken with you.
absolutely horrible..praying for them
I am so grieved for you and all of the survivors.
Prayers going up for you all.
So sorry for your loss. May God bless him and keep him in our prayers.
Bless that couple Lord.
People have got to be kidding with this? This is absolutely absurd.
This is totally unacceptable and despicable 😢😢😢😢😢
Cannot comprehend what you are going through. 😢😢😢 sending my condolences from Brisbane Queensland Australia ❤
So very sorry
Hugs and love from Kansas. Deepest condolences. 🫶🏽. 🕯️ For Matthew and all those lost 01/01/25

Still in shock most likely.
Because they don’t want their child to be forgotten. They want people to know what a tragic loss of life. Awareness gift to us!
So bizarre.. they were so nonchalant I thought he had survived for about half of the interview until the mom was like yep he died 😮
Have you ever grieved someone as close to you as a brother or a son? Its shocking to me that you would so freely try to push guilt and shame upon this family when you have no idea what they are going through. I find it disheartening.
They are in profound shock. It hasn't even hit them and they are traumatised. It isn't all wailing and screaming.
God bless the families so incredibly heartbreaking 💔 🙏🏾
So truly sorry for your sons loss and for all the victims of that tragedy. So sad. 🙏
God bless those poor parents, their son just looks like such a sweet young man. Prayers gone out for these sweet parents.
Condolences to all the victims families and a swift healing for the injured and mentally scarred on witnessing this atrocity. Natalie from the UK. X
how sad??? why didnt his friends call these poor parents? thats so sad!! I cant believe the friends didnt call the parents. Im so sorry for your loss
OBVIOUSLY THEY CAN'T REPORT SOMETHING THEY DONT KNOW..THE VIDEO SAYS THEY GOT SEPARATED....

I’m so sorry 😢🙏
💔so sorry for your loss 😢🙏
I’m so sad for this family. Makes me want to never let my kids leave my house 😢
Such an awful thing to have to identify your dead child at the mourge.😢
That ain't the way to spell morgue. Ignunce.
Prayers for every victims family’s 🙏🏽
Uplifting Matthew's family and friends in my prayers. May the Lord wrap his arms around you to provide comfort...Amen.
I am so sorry this happened to you, and I mean it from my heart. What a sweet young face! You are in my prayers.
My heart hurts knowing what you’re going thru❤
❤why didn't friends call his parents or maybe they did???
Prayers with each of you❤❤RIP MATT❤
A tragedy that may have been prevented if the city did their job and had those strong barriers up. My opinion. They know we live in a dangerous time. How incompetent.
How did neither parent shed a single tear? This whole interview seemed OFF
Help you through the process? It just happened
Which begs the question, how are they already on tv discussing these matters. ?
the process of finding their loved one aka helping them figure out he had passed
Hospitals have staff that do this exact job, but seems they were overwhelmed
@@wingedinfinity777exactly what I’m saying
@@wingedinfinity777 these people just lost their son and ur judging them for going on tv "to soon" to talk about it ? They have a hole in their hearts that can never be healed. Have some respect.
Sorry for these loving parents. Pray for them.
Who's gunfire struck him the terrorist or the authorities firing at the terrorist ?
They haven’t confirmed that yet, I don’t believe.
i mentioned the same thing above

Strength and love to you ❤

Watching the poor father break down at the very end. 💔😢

What if an autopsy was against their religion?! Our systems are so bold. How dare they not allow his parents access to see him. Incompetent FBI
Bless them. This is terrible
What a way to find out 😮😮
Sending all my love and prayers to all the families who lost their loved ones. May they rest in peace.
Im so sorry for your loss. 😢
Why wouldn't they let them identify his body? And he was shot? Things aren't adding up in this interview.
Shot, not hit
I don’t think I could keep my composure. I would be slipping out on TV. That would be too much for me to handle.
I believe it's terrible to have to conduct your own research to see if your relative is still amongst the living or not!!! SMH!!! Prayers and love vibes to all affected!

The parents have the right to turn down an interview. This is what I don't get. Not passing the smell test for me.

am sorry for your loss too many young people killed in a senseless violence act of crime
Oh my heart is breathing for these parents 💔💔
Sorry for your loss 😢
I know. So sad. A bitter, vindictive person ruined several lives.
Please give these sweet sweet devasted parents time to grieve. What you're doing is heartbreaking 💔 😢 Condolences to all who are having to endure this tragedy. 😢

My condolences to all of the families 🙏
Devastating. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Condolences for the loss of your child ! So sorry for your loss?

Condolence to all the families.

So sad prayers 🙏😭
Wow! FBI worrying his parents about moving his vehicle! Whoever owns the lot trying to tow it...shameful!!! I would let them keep his car there as long as they want in light of what just happened.
Totally uncoordinated response from a totally inept police department top to bottom...better hurry there's a heavy towing fee !!! 😜
So very sorry for your loss. Such a tragic attack. Hopefully you will get answers. He's Gods new Angel now. 🙏
Note to News Nation channel op: Maybe you can cut Ashley's cheery promo at the end just this one time?
My condolences to his family and friends 😢
I saw a video after the truck wrecked and gunshots ringing out. I thought I saw someone shot and fall as soon as the gunfire started. So sorry for their loss.
I give these victims my condolences. However, the laws need to change when it comes to veterans going on rampages.
Absolutely heartbreaking
Prayers for all those that died and their family and prayers for the victims 🙏 💔
I can’t imagine… my heart goes out to your family!!
“Yes your son is dead”
Jeez
