Palm Springs Police are now clearing the scene near a business in the 600 block of South Palm Canyon Drive.

For hours on Tuesday afternoon, a large police presence investigated what Police PIO Sgt. Mike Casavan called a report of "a person at a business in that area was believed to be in possession of a firearm."

Just before 5:00 p.m., police said they had determined the suspect had left the building. His location is not known.
