Detroit police say a child has died after she accidentally shot herself with her grandma's gun. 

Family at the scene says 5-year-old Mariah Davis shot herself in the neck late Tuesday night. She was staying at her grandparents' home with her 1-year-old brother and another 3-year-old child.  
 
We're told the girl was upstairs playing at the time of the incident, while her grandmother was downstairs cooking. Police say she found the gun underneath a pillow and accidentally shot herself. 
 
Detroit police were called to a home around midnight Wednesday. So far, no arrests have been made, but Detroit police continue to investigate.
