Shelter-in-place order issued for part of a Detroit neighborhod after woman reportedly points gun at kids

A shelter-in-place order is in effect for part of Detroit's Greenfield neighborhood Saturday evening after a woman reportedly pointed a gun at children, according to police.

Officials are asking people in the area around the 19700 block of Asbury Park, on the city's west side, to shelter in place. A CBS News Detroit photojournalist at the scene saw several law enforcement vehicles, including at least two armored units, parked in the area, along with several emergency personnel.

According to a police spokesperson, the woman allegedly pointed the firearm at kids who weren't hers before going into a home in the area. Officials have yet to disclose further information about the incident.  

A nearby resident said the woman is a former Detroit police officer. CBS News Detroit has not yet been able to independently verify their claim.

The area where law enforcement personnel are is less than a mile away from Gorham Park and Pembroke Academy.

CBS News Detroit is working to learn more information about the incident.
