A man wearing only a green jacket approached a Waffle House in Antioch, Tennessee at around 3:25 a.m. Sunday morning and opened fire both outside and inside the restaurant. A patron wrestled the gun away from the shooter, who then fled totally naked from the scene. A manhunt was launched.
The suspect was identified as Travis Reinking, 29, from Morton, IL. He allegedly first shot two people outside the Waffle House, then proceeded inside to shoot more people. Three people died on scene, and a 4th person died at the hospital. Three others are wounded, their conditions unknown.
Police issued an alert to the public that said, “If you see a nude guy walking around this morning call the police department.” Nashville Metro PD
Several people did report seeing a “nude guy” walking on foot in the area.
