The final three eastbound lanes of Interstate 80 were reopened early Saturday morning, according to California Highway Patrol. The lanes were closed on Friday for an investigation which followed a police pursuit that ended in a standoff on the highway.

The pursuit started following a reported shooting at around 11 a.m. Friday on Highway 101 near Windsor, according to the CHP.  

The CHP said the car was stopped when the driver hit a spike strip on eastbound I-80 near the I-680 junction. 

The two left eastbound lanes of I-80 were reopened shortly before 8 p.m. Friday, CHP said, but the final three lanes remained closed until Saturday while police investigated.
