A large police presence could be seen in the area from a TV news helicopter, NBC Los Angeles reported.
The main freeway lanes were closed at 10:21 p.m. but reopened by 11:14 p.m., Caltrans said.
Police searched for a possible suspect and warned residents to take shelter in their homes, but no injuries were immediately reported, Corona Police Sgt. Dan Dunnigan said.
Authorities received calls regarding possible gunfire at about 9 p.m. near the intersection of D Street and Sherman Avenue, Dunnigan said.
No victims had been located, and officers were still working to confirm if shots had been fired as of 10:40 p.m.
Police later on Facebook said the investigation was in the 1200 block of Doris Lane.
In a Facebook post at 11:50 p.m., the Police Department said: “We have not located any victims in the area. We are continuing to search the area looking for any evidence gunshots occurred. We expect to be on scene through the early morning hours searching and investigating this incident.”
