Berkeley police responded to a call of an argument on 1418 Curtis St. around 7 p.m. Monday. 

Upon arriving at the scene, police found the door of the residence open. A man came out with a gun and began firing at the officers, according to Officer Joe Okies, who arrived at the scene later. 

No one was injured and Okies said it was not immediately known whether the police fired back at the man. 

Berkeley police set up a perimeter around the block and a police negotiator was brought in. California Highway Patrol, UC police and the Berkeley police SWAT team also arrived at the scene. The man surrendered after a standoff of more than an hour.
