A man shot and critically wounded by an escaped teenage resident from the Devereux Foundation facility in Glenmoore was awarded $11 million in his lawsuit against the behavioral health and rehabilitation chain.

A Philadelphia jury handed up the verdict March 17 in favor of Eric Johnson, 47, who was shot by 16-year-old Shykir Crew in the early morning hours of June 23, 2011, in West Philadelphia. The bullet remains lodged in Johnson’s spine, and he has difficulty walking because of incomplete paraplegia.
