Man arrested in Willingboro VFW shooting

NEW JERSEY (WTXF) - Police say they have arrested a man in connection with a shooting that wounded two people at a Willingboro VFW last week.

According to police, Brandon Washington was arrested Tuesday at a residence in the unit block of Pageant Lane in Willingboro by members of the United State Marshals Fugitive Task Force and the Burlington County Sheriffs Department Fugitive Unit.

"I'm a Vietnam veteran. Two tours and I never got a scratch while I was over there," said Mark Peterson. But it was at the Willingboro VFW on Creekview Road that he was shot when a man opened fire inside the place late last night. Peterson returned this evening still in a hospital gown after he was discharged.
