Shooting outside Felton bar brings arrest

Posted

FELTON — A 66-year-old Milton man was arrested after a shooting incident outside a bar early Sunday, Delaware State Police said.

According to authorities, at approximately 1:32 a.m., troopers responded to Green Stinger Sports Bar at 9996 South Dupont Highway for a report of a shooting that occurred in the parking lot. Responding troopers were advised the suspect, later identified as Terry Bratton, was in the parking lot, pointing a gun at people, police said.

Troopers located Mr. Bratton in the parking lot armed with a gun and took him into custody without incident, police said. Troopers learned that a 28-year-old Lincoln man was being treated at an area hospital for a gunshot wound to his arm.

Police said preliminary investigation determied that Mr. Bratton shot the Lincoln man during an argument involving several people.

Mr. Bratton was charged with first-degree assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, first-degree reckless endangering (six counts), terroristic threatening (four counts) and possession of a firearm while under the influence. He was arraigned at Justice of the Peace Court 7 and committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on $161,000 secured bond.
