A woman, who was armed with a rifle, has been taken into custody after, officials said, people were evacuated when she barricaded himself inside a Southwest Philly apartment complex, early Tuesday.<\/p>\n
In an update, officials said a 28-year-old woman was taken into custody at about 7:30 a.m., after she exited the apartment complex unarmed.<\/p>\n
According to Philadelphia Police Department Chief Inspector Scott Small, the incident started at about 3:56 a.m. on Tuesday when officers received a report of a person armed with a rifle at an apartment complex located near the intersection of 48th Street and Chester Avenue.<\/p>\n
Small said the woman barricaded herself inside the building and officers have evacuated some residents of the building, but not the entire complex.<\/p>\n
Residents told officers that the woman was pointing the firearm at apartment doors during this barricade, officials said.<\/p>\n
Using a drone, investigators were able to see the woman inside the home with a rifle before she surrendered to police, officials said.<\/p>\n
Small said, no shots have been fired in this incident and no injuries were initially reported.<\/p>\n
Also, the woman exited the building without a firearm and police plan to obtain a warrant to search the building for the weapon, officials said.<\/p>\n
The woman has been taken into custody, but police did not immediately announce any charges they may face.<\/p>\n
An investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n
