Officials in La Vergne confirmed three suspects have been arrested following an armed carjacking.
The crime happened around 5:30 p.m. Saturday at the Mapco in the 500 block of Waldron Road.
Reports stated the owner of the vehicle went inside the business, and his 13-year-old daughter waited in the vehicle.
Authorities said three male suspects got into the vehicle and fled from the scene with the 13-year-old inside.
They didn’t drive far before ordering the juvenile out of the vehicle by threatening to shoot her.
Police had described the stolen vehicle as a red 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche on Saturday night. It had last been seen on Waldron Road headed south toward the Smyrna/Nolensville area.
Authorities confirmed on Saturday the suspects were armed and dangerous. They released surveillance photos showing their faces.

All have been charged with carjacking and theft of property over $10,000. Kumssa was also charged with kidnapping and was being held on a $125,000 bond. Wiliams and Greer were being held on an $85,000 bond each.
