3 Armed Teen Thugs Violently Rob An Austin Gas Station, Hold Worker At Gunpoint, 13 And 15 Year Old Arrested

AUSTIN, Texas - Two teens have been arrested in connection to a violent armed robbery at a South Austin gas station earlier this week, the Austin Police Department said.

Officers responded to an armed robbery and shooting at the 7-Eleven at 105 E. Stassney Lane around 4:30 a.m. on March 29. Surveillance video shows three armed teens entering the 7-Eleven and rushing toward the clerk as they ransacked the store.

One of the suspects towered over the clerk, holding the clerk at gunpoint as he tried to open the safe. The suspect fired at the safe several times close to the clerk. Luckily, no direct fire or ricochets hit the clerk, APD said.

The suspects continued stealing items before leaving the store toward their vehicle. While running, one of the teens shot at the building toward the clerk inside the store.

Two suspects were located quickly and police arrested, a 13-year-old and a 15-year-old. A third suspect, possibly a teen, has yet to be identified.
