PITTSBURGH — A man is facing several charges this Christmas after police say he stole a gun and aimed it at police.

Pittsburgh police responded to a report of a robbery at a home on Centre Avenue around 1:30 a.m.

Officers soon learned that a man had stolen a gun from another man.

When they spotted someone matching the suspect's description, he allegedly pulled a gun, aimed it at the officers and ran.

Police eventually caught up to him, and located the gun nearby, according to a Facebook post from the department.

Larry Sanders, 37, was booked into the Allegheny County Jail on charges of robbery, aggravated assault, carrying a firearm without a license, reckless endangerment and tampering with evidence.
