A 50-year-old Elmira man pleaded not guilty Tuesday to attempted murder and assault charges tied to a June shooting in Canandaigua, according to WHAM.
Police said Wayne Spencer shot a 67-year-old woman during a domestic violence-related incident inside her Center Street home.
The woman was flown to Strong Memorial Hospital in critical condition but has since been released.
Investigators said Spencer later led police on a pursuit in Geneva, crashed into a parked vehicle and utility pole, and fled on foot before being arrested.
Police said a handgun recovered from his vehicle matched the weapon used in the shooting, and Spencer remains jailed without bail.
