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.

There have been mass murders using tools other than firearms.
I don’t believe these are orchestrated.
In a nation this big, with the news media manipulating stories, no surprise there’s mass murders using firearms dominated by the “in common use” AR15.
Just be ready with the story/bill, and time to release will come soon.

I don’t believe these are orchestrated.

I do, some of them anyways.

There was a fellow on my Thinking the unthinkable: A case for orchestration thread who explained that not only was I on to something, but that this was his job when he worked, in the old days, with a three-letter agency.

He'd set up the crazies to go nuts on foreign soil, for one of several political reasons. He required four things to create such an event: A very unbalanced individual, that they be on certain mental medications, that the person have a vector whereby which he could provoke them, and that the person have access (that he would provide) to a weapon.

If it worked over there, it would work just as well over here.

Think the “hero” who took the gun away from him said he was changing mags when hero was making his move ...... guessing the mag didn’t get changed.

“””As the suspect came through the door, he needed to reload, Shaw Jr. said. That’s when he said he rushed him. “””

Thats where I think the mag might have been lost in the fight.....

Stay Safe !

"Designer methamphetamines......bath salts...etc...make user feel very thermally hot...can also induce extremely violent behaviour." "Post hippie attitude of just”doin’ my thing” also helps."

Every single violent death caused by drugs needs to be put right at the foot of the democratic party...

It does appear to me that, all users of illicit drugs are democrats, all drug dealers are democrats, all importers of narcotics appear to be politicians of the democratic persuasion....

So.... It all just goes to show the commie dimocraps are trying to destroy our wonderful country.. And they will use any, every means necessary to do so..... Don't forget, the dimocraps murder millions every year at the abortion houses.. Stalin was a "piker" compared to them... What's a few more down at the local waffle house to them... Nothing......
