Four people are dead and at least three wounded after a naked man reportedly opened fire at a Tennessee Waffle House.
The gunman, said to be naked except for a green jacket, started shooting at the Nashville restaurant on Murfreesboro Pike just before 3:30 this morning. A customer was reportedly able to wrestle away the shooter’s rifle, described as an AR-15, before he fled on foot.
Police say 29-year-old Travis Reinking is a person of interest in the shooting. A spokesman for Waffle House called it a sad day and said the company’s first thoughts are with the victims and their families.
