Detectives have charged a 47-year-old woman from New Norfolk with attempted murder in relation to what they say was an isolated incident in the historic area on Friday evening.

She was expected to appear before Hobart Magistrates Court on Saturday.

Tasmania Police issued a statement late on Friday which said officers were attending the residence, an apartment complex in Humphrey Street.

A woman had been arrested at the scene and a firearm had been recovered.

Police say the two people are known to one another and there is no threat to the wider community.
