STOWE TOWNSHIP (KDKA) – A woman was arrested late Friday night after allegedly shooting a man in the chest in Stowe Township.
It happened just before 10 p.m. in the 400 block of Pleasant Ridge Road.
According to a criminal complaint, officers arrived at the scene and found a 28-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest. He was transported to a local hospital, where he was reported to be in "extremely critical condition."
Officers spoke to witnesses who said the shooter fled the scene in a White Chevrolet Impala.
A short time later, a Kennedy Township police officer saw a vehicle matching that description speeding away from the area of the shooting. Officers pulled the vehicle over and transported the driver and passengers to Allegheny County Police headquarters to be interviewed.
One witness told police that he or she went to a home in the 400 block of Pleasant Ridge Road with three other people, including 36-year-old Aamina Woods, to get a vehicle belonging to the witness's uncle.
When they arrived at the home, they began arguing with the residents about having the vehicle towed from the property. The argument led to a physical fight.
During the fight, the shooting victim allegedly punched the witness in the lip. The witness told police Woods then pulled out a small pistol and shot the man once in the chest. The witness, Woods and two others ran to their vehicles and fled the area.
Woods has been transported to the Allegheny County Jail. She is facing charges of criminal attempt-criminal homicide, aggravated assault and recklessly endangering another person.
