WOBURN, MASS. (WHDH) - A second man was arrested in connection with a shooting in Woburn that left one man with life-threatening injuries on Saturday.
Police responding to reports of shots fired in the area of Highland Street about 12 a.m. Saturday found a 43-year-old Woburn man suffering from two gunshot wounds to his legs, according to Woburn Police Chief Robert Rufo. He was transported to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Police arrested Aaron B. Cooper, 29, of Boston, as he walked into work in Burlington on Sunday. His brother, Asa Cooper, 28, of Dorchester, was arrested on Saturday.
