“It’s critical that, in addition to a criminal investigation, we take a thorough look at his employment within our public school system to ensure that we are taking the necessary steps to protect students throughout the city,” Walsh said in a statement.

Following Harrison’s arrest last week for the execution-style shooting of a 17-year-old, police searched his home and found two handguns, a rifle, ammunition and “trafficking weight” of cocaine and a large amount of marijuana.
