PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - A man is facing charges after police said he fired shots then walked into an Eat'n Park and held two employees and a manager hostage. 

Pittsburgh police said they got a call about shots fired on Banksville Road shortly before 2:30 p.m. on Thursday. When they got there, a victim told officers a man he didn't know passed by him in a parking lot and fired at least three shots.
