After negotiations, the suspect "surrendered peacefully" and was taken into District Two officers' custody.
"At a minimum, he will be charged with felonious assault," the spokesperson said in a written statement, although specific charges were still pending Thursday afternoon.
EMTs escorted the woman who was shot to an area hospital, where she was treated and released.
The incident did not appear to be a domestic dispute, police said.
