He survived a mass shooting near Highland Park 34 years ago. Now, he helps others
A mass shooting hit the town of Winnetka, Ill., 34 years ago. Phil Andrew survived, and that experience shaped his path as a special agent for the FBI and lifelong gun control advocate.

And with every new attack that makes headlines, it all comes rushing back.
