CHICAGO (CBS) – A 31-year-old woman is recovering after being shot at Navy Pier Saturday morning.

The shooting happened just before 12:30 a.m. in the 600 block of East Grand Avenue.

Police say an unknown man was in an argument with a known woman on a ship that was un-boarding. Security staff escorted the man off the ship when he returned moments later and fired multiple shots toward the ship.

The victim suffered a gunshot wound to the left knee and was taken to Northwestern Hospital in good condition.

There is no active threat at Navy Pier, police said.

In a statement, a spokesperson for Navy Pier said law enforcement was able to identify the shooter and his vehicle: 

"Our hearts go out the victim who is currently recovering in the hospital. Our Halloween programming will go on as planned today. The entire Pier is open to welcome guests and operations are back to normal."  

Area 3 detectives were investigating.
