“He told me to open the register. I was a little flabbergasted so I just said 'what?' I noticed he had a gun under his shoulder, or his elbow, so then he said, 'open the register,' again," said Dante Caliguiri, the general manager of the Pizza Hut. "I proceeded to open the register, I gave him the money, he asked about the safe, I gave him the money from the safe.”

Caliguiri told Pittsburgh's Action News 4 the suspect took off with the money when an Uber driver entered the store. He said the driver called 911.
