    EP 029: Mike Lawson, "Active Shooter" Inside the 1997 Amtrak Shooting

    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. We talk about what mental health support looked like for officers in the late ’90s, the culture of “push it down and move on,” and how unaddressed trauma can quietly impact careers, families, and identity. This episode is about the human side of the badge. It’s about what happens after the headlines fade. It’s about resilience, healing, and the courage it takes to speak openly about mental health in law enforcement. Raw. Honest.
