Police are still on the lookout for several suspects after an online marketplace meetup Friday night resulted in a shootout at a popular Mt. Juliet shopping center. The Mt. Juliet Police Department said it responded to the Target parking lot at Providence Marketplace after reports of gunfire, including a bullet that hit the window of a nearby Red Robin. Police said they learned a Smyrna man and his wife drove to the parking lot to sell a firearm to someone they met online, and the man was ambushed by another person who began to shoot at him. That’s when police say the seller grabbed a gun out of his car and began firing back. Three suspects took off in an SUV, which was captured on license plate readers and found later that night in Nashville.
