A man is being sought in Oklahoma after he pointed a gun at Auto Zone employees because he was upset about being left on hold.

The Oklahoma City Police Department said the unidentified suspect entered the store near the Northwest Expressway and West Wilshire Boulevard. 

He was apparently upset that he had been left on hold for too long during a phone call, police said. Once inside, he berated the employees and cursed at them.
