PORT ST. LUCIE — A 70-year-old woman is in stable condition after she reportedly was shot five times by a family member Friday night.

The shooting allegedly happened about 11:15 p.m. Friday. The woman ran to a neighbor's house in the 1800 block of Southeast Elrose Court after she was shot, according to a Port St. Lucie Police Department posting on the agency's Facebook page. The woman remains in stable condition at HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said Saturday.

Tarrant West, 71, peacefully surrendered after law enforcement surrounded his home and called for him to exit. West was being held Saturday in the St. Lucie County Jail, and has been charged with attempted homicide, five counts of aggravated battery with a firearm and simple battery.
