Officers were called to a home in Brooklyn Center early Wednesday to conduct a welfare check and arrived to find a woman dead.

Multiple children inside the residence on the 5400 block of Oliver Avenue N. were unharmed, said Cmdr. Garett Flesland, also the acting police chief. Police got a 911 call about 3:25 a.m. from a caller asking police to check on the woman and children who were in the home.

Police did not say if the victim had been shot or how she died.

A man was arrested and police continue to investigate, Flesland said.
