A 19-year-old man accidentally shot in the leg last month has been bailed and will reappear in court later this month on burglary and firearms charges.
Dargaville man John Hurst and friend Vinnie Robinson, 18, allegedly took a 9mm semi-automatic pistol from a family member, and were travelling in a car when the gun went off, police said.
Mr Hurst was due to reappear in Dargaville District Court on September 17.
Mr Robinson, charged with unlawful possession of a pistol and accessory after the fact relating to the burglary, will reappear on October 2 for a pre-depositions hearing.
