Alleged Memorial Drive shooter pleads not guilty from hospital bed

The man accused of wounding two people in a chaotic shooting spree Monday on Memorial Drive in Cambridge has pleaded not guilty to six felonies and two misdemeanor charges.

Tyler E. Brown of Boston was arraigned Thursday via Zoom from a hospital bed, where he’s being treated for gunshot wounds.

Brown, flanked by his lawyers, had his eyes closed in bed, his head nodded to the side, for the entirety of the hearing. He did nod when Cambridge District Court Judge David Frank asked if he could hear.

Earlier, Brown’s public defender, Carolyn McGowan, asked to push back the arraignment by an hour because of the drugs hospital staff had administered in the morning.

His next court date — a dangerousness hearing — is scheduled for next Thursday.

This is a breaking story that will be updated.
