The Bay Fair BART station in San Leandro has reopened Thursday night after a report of someone pointing a gun at the stop led authorities to close it temporarily.

No shots were fired, but BART spokesman Linton Johnson said as a precaution, trains were not allowed to travel through the station from about 7:55 p.m. to 9 p.m. while police investigated the report.

Trains from San Francisco and Richmond were forced to turn around after the Oakland Coliseum stop. Trains from Fremont were turned around at Hayward Station, and trains from Dublin were turned around at the Castro Valley Station. The closure caused delays of about 30 minutes for some passengers.

The Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District provided substitute service during the closure, Johnson said.

Johnson said police went to a home where they believed the suspects were located, but it was not immediately clear as to whether any arrests were made.
