Berkeley police are investigating reports of shots fired in the southern part of the city this afternoon, a police spokeswoman said. 

The shots were apparently fired at about 2:45 p.m. near Stanford Liquors at 62nd and King streets, Berkeley police Sgt. Mary Kusmiss said. 

No one was believed to be hit by the shots since no victims have shown up at hospitals and no blood was found at the scene, Kusmiss said. 

Investigators were at the scene of the shooting shortly after 3 p.m. to collect evidence, she said.
