The victim suffered an in-and-out wound to the shoulder. She was taken to Lankenau Hospital and later released.
On Thursday, township Police Superintendent Timothy Bernhardt said the incident appeared to involve a fight over an old boyfriend and a new boyfriend.
The shooting occurred in the basement of the home. The victim said someone knocked on the back door, a person came in the back door and fired two shots, one hitting the victim.
The shooter and victim knew each other and there is no threat to the public, Bernhardt said at the time.
Court records indicate Sherif was arraigned before District Judge Georgia L. Stone, who set bail at 10 percent of $1 million, which Sherif was unable to post and she was taken to the Delaware County prison to await a preliminary hearing on May 23.
