Multiple reports of a person armed with a gun at the West Oakland BART station caused police to swarm the site Tuesday evening, according to the transit agency.

The police activity caused delays in multiple directions from the station. BART reported the activity shortly after 8 p.m.

BART police said the person appeared to be gone by the time they arrived, and it was not immediately clear whether the person actually had a gun — or had just threatened to have had one.

No one was injured in the incident. Two trains passed through the station without stopping, and delays were expected to linger briefly.
