NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Four people were killed and several others were injured in a shooting at a Waffle House in Tennessee early Sunday, authorities said. The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department identified the suspect as 29-year-old Travis Reinking of Morton, Illinois, who remains at large.
Reinking arrived at the Waffle House parking lot in Antioch around 3 a.m. local time. He exited his truck and began firing an AR-15 at two people outside the restaurant, Nashville Police spokesman Don Aaron said. He then went inside the restaurant and opened fire.
Authorities discovered two magazines of AR-15 ammunition in a green jacket Reinking left behind. "He clearly came armed with a lot of firepower to devastate the south Nashville area," Aaron said.
"There is a chance that Reinking is at large with two other weapons," he added. Police said they were not aware any motives for the shooting. Reinking also tried to meet Donald Trump once and was escorted away from White House Security. He also had his firearms confiscated in Illinois. His father returned the guns to him which is very poor insight.
James Shaw wrestled the gun away from Reinking in the restaurant but said it was only to save himself, not everybody else.
