--------------
Gwinnett police are searching for a man accused of pointing a gun at a Pizza Hut manager.
Police said the man, identified as Trontavious Tate, 19, was upset about an incorrect order at the restaurant on Singleton Road in Norcross. An employee fixed the order, and police said Tate got angrier when the manager told him to have a great day.
“The customer didn’t like this. This set him off for some sort of reason,” Gwinnett police Cpl. Michele Pihera said.
Police said Tate went to his car and came back with a gun.
Video shows the man knocking over two computer monitors and pointing a gun at the manager, with a child nearby.

He faces aggravated assault and financial transaction fraud charges.
