Question broke hood latch

02 1500 4x4...when i shut the hood tonight after looking at the engine I thought i didnt close the hood all the way so I opened the hood again and shut it a little harder and i heard something fall.i looked under the truck and it seems the hood latch broke.im not sure if something just came lose or a part broke off.the latch is there and then a long skinny rod and then a short rod on the other side about as long as a finger and like i said the latch.does the latch just hook onto something or you think some part snapped off?now i cant open my hood.is there anything online that would show me how this latch goes back on?thanks

I took another look the rod isnt connected to the latch anymore its just hanging there.where does the rod attach to the latch?seems odd it came un hooked from it.is there a way to open the hood without the hood latch?
