The man charged after a shooting on Auckland's Karangahape Road has pleaded not guilty.
Police were called at about 3.50am on Sunday morning to reports of several shots fired on the inner city street, injuring two people.
Police arrested the 21-year-old accused a short time later.
He appeared in Auckland District Court on Monday morning before Judge David Sharp, facing firearms charges as well as two counts of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, and a charge of possessing cocaine.
The man's lawyer entered not guilty pleas to all charges on his behalf.
His supporters were in court, and shouted "chur bro" at the accused as he stood in the dock.
"I know you're pleased to see your whanau but you've just got to take it easy," Sharp said in response.
The man was granted interim name suppression and remanded in custody, expected to reappear in court in August.
