Philip Mudd, a former FBI agent and deputy director for the FBI’s national security branch, has interviewed terrorists and investigated some of the most atrocious attacks.
That experience didn’t prepare him for news Wednesday that 17 people were killed by a gunman at a Florida high school.
A CNN counterterrorism analyst, Mudd broke down in tears while talking about the attack with the network’s Wolf Blitzer.
“I have 10 nieces and nephews who are talking about bump stocks,” he said. “We’re talking about legislation. A child of God is dead. Cannot we acknowledge in this country that we can’t — we cannot accept this.”
Mudd tried to continue but couldn’t: “I can’t do it, Wolff, I’m sorry.”
