Parents of Las Vegas mass shooting hero search for people he saved

Although Scotty Pettersen couldn’t bring himself to search for the people he helped for fear they didn’t survive, his parents are desperate to find “a bright spot.”

When a country music concert turned into a killing field in Las Vegas, Scotty Pettersen of Seattle helped so many gunshot victims, he lost count.

As the bullets hit hundreds of people, the 27-year-old Pettersen ran his girlfriend and a nearby family to the safety of an ambulance.

The paramedics were out helping others but inside the ambulance were four gunshot victims. Pettersen’s EMT and firefighter training kicked in.
