Boston Gang Outreach Worker's Shooter on Trial

Public radio station WBUR broadcast a sympathetic story today about a gang outreach worker who was shot last summer. He had one troubled young man in his car when a rival gang member came over to the car and tried to shoot the young man. Instead, the gang member shot the outreach worker. The shooter was charged with the crime in December. The radio piece asks what the training and support should be for workers like William Harvey who is out on disability with vastly less compensation than a police officer or firefighter would be after a job-related injury.
