Four people died early Sunday when a half-naked man opened fire at a Waffle House just south of Nashville.
Local law enforcement said 29-year-old Travis Reinking, armed with an AR-15 and two magazines, stormed the restaurant just before 3:30 a.m., murdering two people in the parking lot and shooting six more inside. He fled after a scuffle with a customer left him unarmed.

This is a very sad day for the Waffle House family. We ask for everyone to keep the victims and their families in their thoughts and prayers.

Those dead include Taurean C. Sanderlin, 29; Joe R. Perez, 20; Deebony Groves, 21 and Akilah Dasivla, 23. Two other women — 21-year-old Shanita Waggoner and 24-year-old Sharita Henderson — were taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for gunshot wounds, according to law enforcement.
Reinking, a construction worker, moved to Nashville in the fall of 2017, just a few months after the Secret Service detained him for trespassing near the White House. Investigators in Tazewell County, Illinois subsequently revoked Reinking’s state firearms license and seized four guns, including the AR-15 used in Sunday’s attack.
Reinking’s father admitted returning the guns to his son. Two are still missing, according to Nashville
