A 30-year-old woman was arrested after she allegedly shot her boyfriend Wednesday, June 5, outside Jefferson Torresdale Hospital on Knights Road.

Authorities say the shooting stemmed from an argument the two had been having over text throughout the day. The 30-year-old man was at the hospital visiting family around 10 p.m. when he spotted his girlfriend in her car, police said.
