Jaylen L. Briggs of Lansing was arraigned Monday on charges of carelessly firing a gun causing injury, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, carrying a concealed weapon and possessing a firearm while committing a felony.

Lansing District Court Magistrate Laura Millmore set his bond at $15,000 and scheduled his next court appearance May 1.
