OSU frat must pay homeless man shot by member
By Associated PressCORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — A jury has awarded about $41,000 in damages to a homeless man who was shot by an Oregon State University fraternity member in 2006.
Dennis Sanderson was in an alley behind the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity in Corvallis looking through a trash container when he was shot by a frat member who claimed he was shooting at the container. The fraternity member, Joshua Grimes, pleaded guilty to assault and unlawful use of a weapon charges in 2007 for shooting Sanderson with a .22 caliber rifle. Sanderson's attorney had argued the national fraternity was negligent but the jury rejected that claim. But the jury said the frat and Grimes are responsible for the damages.
