In minutes the Allegheny County SWAT team surrounded the home..
"We hailed them asking them to come out of the house. One actor came out," Inspector David Walsh said.
While Hill complied, Moore chose to remain in the house.
"The other actor decided that he was going to continue hiding in the house," Walsh said. "A flash bang was used. He came out of the house within minutes."
After Moore surrendered he said, "I screwed up. The gun went off."
Hill and Moore were taken into custody and are facing a list of charges including, robbery, aggravated assault and resisting arrest.
