Three teenagers were killed and another one was injured during a shooting incident at a fuel station in the US state of Texas over the Christmas weekend, police said.
The suspect, a 14-year-old boy, was arrested on Monday afternoon, Xinhua news agency quoted Police Chief Jeff Bryan in the Dallas suburb of Garland as saying.
In a surveillance video of the shooting, which took place on Sunday night, the shooter is seen getting got out of the passenger side of a pick-up truck, walking up to the front door, and opening fire into the gas station convenience store from the doorway.
Police said he fired more than 20 rounds from a .40 caliber pistol. The shooter then got back into the pick-up and fled with a male driver, whom police said they are still searching for.
The victims were three boys aged 14, 16, and 17, police said.
The youngest of the three victims was ordering tacos for his family when he was killed.
Bryan said it appears he was just at the "wrong place at the wrong time".
An injured store employee who had started to work last week was hospitalised and was in stable condition, said the police.
Investigators are still trying to find out the motive for the shooting, according to local media reports.
