VIDEO: A Seattle-area firefighter who survived the One October shooting and helped save lives that night is returning to the place where he says he learned how to live with the trauma. Dean Mc-Ollie said he left haunted after the shooting and struggled in the aftermath, calling it a nightmare. He attended the festival as a showgoer but shifted into work mode when shots were fired.

While he saved lives, he blamed himself for the ones he did not. Mc-Ollie later spent years receiving EMDR-assisted therapy at Stable Arena, a treatment that uses eye movement to help the brain reprocess traumatic events. He said that when an offer from Stable Arena came in years later, the treatment worked and helped him learn not to let trauma define him.
