Gun Violence, Trauma & Prevention

Highland Park was not the first mass shooting on the North Shore. Thirty-four years ago, there was another shooting at an elementary school in neighboring Winnetka, IL.  The gunwoman shot Phil Andrew after she fled the school.  Phil went on to become an FBI Special Agent and Crisis Negotiator with expertise in violence prevention, counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and behavioral analysis. Phil holds numerous FBI and U. S. DOJ awards and serves and continues to serve as an FBI Instructor. Before the FBI, Phil practiced law in Chicago and managed a violence prevention organization.
