BOSTON - A staff member at a high school in Jamaica Plain faces attempted murder charges after allegedly shooting a 17-year-old boy.

Shaun Harrison, 55, was dean of students at English High School until he was terminated because of his arrest.

The victim was shot Tuesday night and treated for non-life-threatening injuries, according to Boston's CBS affiliate.

The Boston Globe reports that a school department spokesperson has declined to say what relationship, if any, Harrison had to the student, citing the ongoing investigation.

Boston's ABC affiliate WCVB interviewed Harrison in 2008, when he was running an outreach group that tried to keep young people away from guns.
