Crafton officers responded about 8:40 a.m. Tuesday to Barr Avenue for a report of a shooting between neighbors, according to a news release from borough police.
Police said the 36-year-old victim was sitting in his car when Ronnell Sims, 30, allegedly grabbed a gun and shot the victim twice in the stomach, Tribune-Review news partner WPXI-TV reported.

The victim was taken to the hospital in critical but stable condition, WPXI reported.
Sims is charged with one count of aggravated assault, court records show. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Dec. 22.
