It has been five years since the tragic mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas. That day, Scotty Pettersen turned into a hero, saving lives using his EMT and firefighter training, treating victims until he was covered “head to toe” in their blood and the ambulance was out of supplies. A little over three years later, Pettersen, unable to get help for himself, died by suicide on Jan. 18, 2021, at the age of 31. Now, on the five-year anniversary of that night in Vegas, Pettersen’s parents are searching for any of the strangers their son helped save. On Sept. 6, Scott and Michele Pettersen spread some of Scotty's ashes in Maui, the last place the whole family was together. The same day, they posted a plea to a Facebook group designed to connect the many everyday heroes of the Vegas shooting with the people they helped save. So far, the post hasn't turned up any of the people Scotty helped. His parents hope his large size, good looks and other unique details might jog some memories.
