Laurie Dann Rampage, 25 years later

It’s been 25 years since Phil Andrew was shot by Laurie Dann. Then a 20-year-old college student, he was taken hostage on May 20, 1988 by Dann after she went on a rampage in the North Shore, killing a boy and wounding others. It’s a day that has impacted and influenced his life. There is no official ceremony marking the quarter century that’s passed since Dann, 30, terrorized the community.
