Loder was arraigned Tuesday in Boston Municipal Court, although he did not show his face. Prosecutors say this isn’t the first time Loder has been charged with possessing a firearm. They asked for the bail to be revoked and Loder to be kept in custody until the next hearing on June 17.

The judge granted that request, despite defense arguments that the police report made no mention of witnesses to the shooting – and that Loder was only charged with a firearms violation – rather than the shooting itself.

As for the “resisting arrest” charge, Loder’s attorney said it was a matter of self-defense.

“He fled the area where shots were allegedly fired,” she added. “I don’t think it would be a surprise to anyone.”

Initially, it was thought that the condition of the man allegedly shot by Loder was critical. However, police say he is likely to survive.
