In the wake of Friday morning's deadly shooting at an Aurora, CO movie theater, "Piers Morgan Tonight" dedicated it's entire episode to a live broadcast featuring the latest details, as survivors offered perspective and insight from the harrowing ordeal.

Joining Piers Morgan live, parents Patricia Legarreta and Jamie Rohrs spoke of escaping from the cinema with their four-year-old daughter and four-month-old son, as shooter James Holmes opened fire.

Reliving the terrifying event, Rohrs recounted the frantic moments:

"I find myself standing... my son is on the floor... and I lose him," recalled a distraught Rohrs, who had been separated from Legarreta and their children. "Please let them get out alive."

Although Lagarretta was shot, her injuries were not fatal, and the children were unharmed.

Later in day, reunited with his family, and less than 24 hours removed from the life-altering episode, Rohrs created even more drama:

"He just looked at me and he said 'I know this isn't the time or place,'" revealed Legarreta, "'but will you marry me?' And I said 'yes.'"

Watch the clip, and listen to the interview, as Morgan and his guests further detail a day which featured the largest mass shooting in U.S. history.
