The man is due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Thursday.
The 36-year-old man has also been charged in relation to the attempted murder of a 55-year-old woman and a 42-year-old woman during this incident.
Neither required medical treatment.
Detective Inspector Dougal Begg said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Margaret Parker and everyone affected by this tragic incident.
“A continued police presence can be seen in the area as officers continue their enquiries into this isolated incident.”
It is understood the incident involved a weapon, but no-one was shot with a gun.
In a statement, the force previously said: “This was an isolated incident and officers remain in the area to provide public reassurance and anyone with concerns should speak to officers.”
Forensic officers were at the scene on Tuesday afternoon and the area remained cordoned off.
A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.
