(CBS DETROIT) - Police have several people in custody in connection to a standoff at a home in Detroit.

Detroit Police received a call about a violent homicide on the 14,000 block of Greenfield late Tuesday night. Officers then got a tip around 8 a.m. Wednesday morning about a vehicle matching the description with multiple people inside, one of which was allegedly pointing a semi-automatic weapon at vehicles along an area freeway.

Officers were able to follow that vehicle back to an apartment complex on Constance Avenue on Detroit's west side.

After establishing a perimeter around the area, officers were able to bring a mother and two infant children to safety.
