(Reuters) -Police on Thursday arrested an armed man in Seaside, California, after a lengthy standoff with police, ending a shelter-in-place order for residents and businesses, a local television station reported.

The suspect, armed with a gun, barricaded himself for about five hours on a balcony and fired at least two shots at officials, KSBW Action News 8 reported.

There were no injuries from those shots, the news outlet said, citing police.


Crisis negotiators were called in to talk to the man, who surrendered in the afternoon, the report added.
