HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A report of a man with a gun outside of the Arclight Hollywood prompted a large police response overnight.

Police eventually said nobody has been taken into custody, and the scene was cleared at about 4 a.m.

It's not clear what, if anything, was recovered or if shots were ever fired.
