A 26-year-old man has been remanded in custody in connection with a pellet gun shooting incident at a bar in Londonderry on Wednesday.
James Paul Lindsay, of Melrose Terrace, faces two charges over the incident in which two people were shot with a pellet gun.
He is also charged with grievous bodily harm and possession of a firearm or imitation firearm with intent.
A detective told Derry magistrates court on Friday that when charged, Mr Lindsay said, "I'm sorry".
During the incident at the ‘Oval’ bar, a man was hit once in the head and twice on the hand while a woman sitting nearby was struck in the chest.
Both victims were treated in hospital, however their injuries are not thought to be life threatening.
The defendant was remanded in custody to appear by video link on 30 June, but his solicitor said his client would be applying for High Court bail.
