A man was taken into custody by San Francisco police Sunday after a standoff with officers, according to a spokesperson for the department.
Police said someone reported a man with a gun on the 800 block of Brannan Street at around 5:35 a.m.
When officers arrived and found the man, he ran from them and fired the weapon, according to the department. It reported that no one was hit by the gunfire.
More officers then arrived and found the man hiding under a car. In a post on social media, the department asked people to avoid the area of Townsend and Brannan streets as the Crisis/Hostage Negotiations Team attempted to make contact.
At 10:30 a.m., a spokesperson for the department posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the situation had been resolved without further incident. A statement from the police credited the negotiation team, along with the Tactical Team and Specialist Team, for getting the man to surrender.
