SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. -- An Airman at a Colorado Air Force base that controls GPS satellites surrendered to authorities Monday night after barricading himself in a building with a gun, officials said.

The man was detained by law-enforcement officials after surrendering around 8 p.m., Air Force officials said. No injuries were reported.

The Airman was in a building where personnel prepare for deployments, and it was evacuated after the standoff began, said Schriever Air Force Base spokeswoman Jennifer Thibault. A negotiator and a SWAT team from the El Paso County Sheriff's Department responded at the Air Force's request, said Air Force Lt. Marie Denson.

Control rooms for GPS and other military satellites are in a separate, heavily protected inner compound surrounded by fences and staffed with armed guards.
