This poor dad.
Via NY Post:
Where is Brian, the dad demanded, shouting into his phone. Where is he?
It was two weeks ago — 6:30 on the first Saturday night in May — and retired NYPD Sgt. Raymond Moore had dialed the cellphone of his son, a police officer, after hearing that a cop from the kid’s 105th Precinct had just been shot.
The first time he dialed, it just rang.

“I called back again, and another officer picked up the phone,” Moore remembered of the call that shattered his life.
“Where’s Brian?”
In an exclusive interview with The Post, Moore, 57, spoke publicly for the first time about the May 2 assassination of his son, Detective First Grade Brian Moore, 25, with whom he shared his Massapequa, LI, home.
The decorated anti-crime cop was fatally shot on a quiet street in Queens Village when he pulled his unmarked car alongside a career con, identified himself, and asked, “Do you have something in your waistband?”
“We were close,” Moore said of his only son, a kid who had planned to be a cop, like his dad and his Uncle Ron, since grade school.
