A road in Orangevale was closed on New Year's Day due to a standoff, authorities said.

The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office said at about 1:15 p.m. that a standoff was underway with a person who may have fired shots into the air outside a home along Dixon Oaks Lane. 

The suspect, who is possibly armed, barricaded himself in his parents' home and was alone, deputies said. 

Nearby homes were advised to evacuate, with some choosing to shelter in place, the sheriff's office said. 

The California Highway Patrol closed southbound Hazel Avenue at Elm Avenue and northbound Hazel at Centria Avenue. It's unknown when the road will reopen. 

No injuries have been reported.
