A former dean of a high school in Boston has been ordered by a federal judge to pay over $10 million in damages to a former student he attempted to murder over a drug sale dispute.
Shaun Harrison, the former dean of English High School, was convicted of assault and other charges in a state court in 2018. He was also sentenced to 26 years in prison. The judgment was taken after it came to light that Harrison used his position to recruit students to sell drugs. In March 2015, Harrison shot a 17-year-old boy, Luis Rodriguez, due to a drug sale dispute that left the boy with medical complications.
