An armed man took a hostage inside an upper floor of a downtown office building on Friday, forcing police to evacuate the high-rise.

Police negotiators were in contact with the man after he took the hostage shortly after 8 a.m. on the 16th floor of Three Gateway Center, one of six office buildings that dominate the city skyline, Pittsburgh Police Chief Nate Harper said.

Authorities know the identities of the gunman and the hostage but were not releasing them, Harper said. He described the suspect as "ex-military," but didn't elaborate. He said no injuries had been reported and no shots had been fired.
