Tynisha Holloway, 37, is charged with Aggravated Assault, Possession of an Instrument of Crime, Recklessly Endangering Another Person and Simple Assault.
A 17-year-old who was also questioned by police was determined to be simply a witness to the crime.
Officers were called to a home on the 2900 block of North Hicks Street around 10 p.m. Tuesday after a 30-year-old man was shot in the torso and legs.
The victim was taken to Temple University Hospital in critical but stable condition.
Investigators say this all apparently stemmed from an argument over trash on the curb.
Based on ballistic evidence, police say the alleged shooter fired from outside the home into the front door where the victim was standing.
"It appears that the door was closed and the shooter shot through the door. We have four shell casings out on the street on the 2900 block of North Hicks right in front of the door of the person who was shot," said Insp. D.F. Pace.

A nearby car was also hit by one of the bullets.
Police are still trying to figure out what led up to the gunfire. They are investigating reports that one neighbor came at the other with a screwdriver.
"The gunshot victim is believed to have possibly been threatening or acting in an aggressive manner toward the individual who ultimately shot him, threatening them with a screwdriver possibly. So there was some sort of argument that preceded the shooting," Pace explained.
Officers also responded to the same home around 11 a.m. Tuesday for a similar argument between the neighbors and issues with trash but it didn't escalate to violence, police said.
Two guns were recovered at the scene.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 215-686-TIPS.
