PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- One of the five people shot late Wednesday night at Jay's Lounge in the Hill District is now facing charges.

Early this morning Pittsburgh Police charged Dean Marbury with both aggravated assault and reckless endangerment for firing 11 shots late on Wednesday night at Jay's Lounge in the Hill District.

Police say that Marbury got into a fight with two security guards at the bar and sometime around 10:45 p.m. is when shots were fired.

Two victims were transported from the scene by paramedics in critical condition and Marbury, along with several others went to the hospital on their own for treatment.

While police are charging Marbury, they are still investigating and Hill District neighbors we spoke with say that they want their neighborhood cleaned up and Jay's Lounge to be closed.

"It happens at night from the bars, you don't want to sit outside and worry if you're going to get shot if your house is going to get shot, your car going to get shot," said Jeannie Blackwell. "You don't want to have that feeling all the time."

The investigation continues and anyone with information is asked to call Pittsburgh Police's Major Crimes Unit.
