In 1997, a routine day at an Amtrak maintenance facility in Wilmington turned into a scene of chaos and tragedy when a gunman opened fire inside the building. Lives were lost. Families were changed forever. And the officers who responded were forced into a split-second decision that would follow them long after the scene was cleared. In Episode 029 of the Change Catalysts Podcast, we sit down with retired Wilmington Police officer Mike Lawson to revisit that day — what it was like to answer the call, confront an active shooter, and carry the weight of that moment for years to come. But this conversation goes far beyond the incident itself. Mike opens up about the mental and emotional toll that followed, including the PTSD he battled in the aftermath.
