Memorial Day American Legion Shooting: Suspect Apprehended, Police Say

ARDMORE, PA — The accused gunman in a Memorial Day shooting at the Ardmore American Legion Post has been apprehended, Lower Merion Police said.

Andrew McCutchen, 35, of Philadelphia, was tracked to the Williamsport area and taken into custody Tuesday by the United States Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force for Middle and Eastern Districts, authorities said.

McCutchen was extradited to Montgomery County and arraigned on Wednesday on charges of first-degree attempted murder, aggravated assault, a firearm violation, and related offenses.

He was remanded to Montgomery County Correctional Facility in lieu of $2 million dollars cash bail.

According to police, the shooting occurred at the Spencer Reid American Legion Post in Ardmore on Memorial Day.

Authorities said McCutcheon shot a 26-year-old man, who they said was targeted, at the American Legion. The victim suffered multiple gunshots but survived. He was released from the hospital following extensive medical treatment, police said.

Police said McCutcheon then drove off, and as he did, a man came out of the legion and fired several rounds at the vehicle McCutcheon was in. That man was identified as Tre Vaughn Bolden, 27, of Ardmore.

Bolden was charged with felony aggravated assault, felony discharging a firearm into an occupied structure, simple assault, possession of a weapon, and recklessly endangering another person, court records show.

It's unclear if anyone in the vehicle was struck by gunfire. No one else was hurt in the shooting inside or outside the Legion.

As a result of the investigation, police identified McCutchen as the initial shooter, police said.
