A tragic scene unfolded in Antioch, Tennessee early Sunday morning as a naked gunman opened fire in a Waffle House. The attack killed three.

Police say that Travis Reinking, of Morton, Illinois, is the person of interest in the shooting. The 29 year old man is still on the run. 

According to the Tennessean, “Police said a gunman opened fire at about 3:25 a.m. at the Waffle House at 3571 Murfreesboro Pike, which is just south of Mt. View Road. 

Police said the vehicle the gunman arrived in is registered to Reinking. They said the gunman was reportedly last seen walking south on Murfreesboro Pike, had shed his coat and was nude. 

Anyone who has seen Reinking is asked to call Metro police immediately at 615-862-8600.”

The 911 call at 3:25 AM garnered massive police presence. More than 30 police officers arrived at the scene but the alleged suspect had already ran off by then.

According to ABC News, Waffle House officially released the following statement: 

"We are deeply saddened by this tragic incident," Waffle House said later in a statement. "Right now, our first thoughts are with the victims and their families, and we will be there for them in this most difficult time. We are still gathering the details, and so we do not have much information to share ... This is a very sad day for the Waffle House family.

Every time I think there might be something to the hoary old argument that drug use is a victimless crime, $#*+ like this happens.

When you close down the insane asylumns, this is what you get: a naked man murdering people in a waffle house and Demonicrats promoting, supporting and enabling 55 million murders of people of the womb.

More grist for the Second Amendment-killing mill. There will be a lot more of these until they get what they want. We are in a war. They don’t care how many innocents die as long as they can finally disarm the American people.

People are growing tired of deranged individuals mowing down innocent strangers with assault rifles in random acts of violence.

Support is growing for laws that will simply make them feel better.

His name and photo are at the many linked sources. He's running around on foot through Murffreesborough. Shouldn't be too hard to spot.

Designer methamphetamines......bath salts...etc...make user feel very thermally hot...can also induce extremely violent behaviour. Couple that with constant violent imagery in our media and mental instability and plain ol’ evil and easy availability of harm capable equipment...teeth...fists,knives, guns, cars, bats, etc..and you get what you get. Post hippie attitude of just”doin’ my thing” also helps.

How come we’re not being subjected to a description of the kind of rifle that he had? Or that will come later? Probably 24/7 then when everyone gets on board.

“”assault rifles””

I didn’t see any info about the rifle - it could have been a .22 for all anyone knows... You don’t need to help the media out...
