Armed cops surrounded a two-storey rented house in Grimsby, Lincs., for almost two hours after the suspect went inside with the gun.

Witnesses say she was wearing a white short skirt and a black top.

Specialist officers, including negotiators, were deployed at the scene in the suburbs of the town.

Four ambulances and cop helicopters were also present.

One worried neighbour said: "A woman was shouting abuse at the officers from her front window. They have got her teenage son out safe but she is all distressed."

Nearly two hours after the siege began the woman was brought out the property in handcuffs and "was shouting abuse" at people in the street.

She was assessed by paramedics and then taken away in a police van.

A Humberside Police spokesman said: "Roads around Portland Place in Grimsby are now open following the peaceful conclusion of a firearms incident that had been ongoing for a number of hours.

"A woman was arrested shortly before 4.15pm and is now in police custody. She will be interviewed in due course.

"Nobody has been hurt as a result of the incident."
