At least four people were killed and several others were injured early Sunday when a gunman opened fire at a Waffle House in Nashville, Tenn., police said.

The alleged gunman, Travis Reinking, 29, began shooting at patrons around 3:25 a.m. Sunday at the Waffle House, located about 16 miles southeast of downtown Nashville, before fleeing the scene, Metro Nashville police said. Authorities had initially said Reinking was a person of interest, but later said he has been identified as a suspect.

"If you see a nude guy walking around this morning call the police department," Don Aaron of the Metro Police Department told WTVF.

A person at the restaurant had wrestled away the alleged shooter's rifle.

Police initially described the gunman as a man with short hair who was last seen walking on Murfreesboro Pike. He "shed his coat" after firing his gun and is nude.

“A man with short hair” ok. The race of the man would be more helpful.

“Race .. would be ... helpful.”

It’s in there, along with a (dressed) picture.

He was naked, and his har was short. A little more clarification might be in order.

I wonder if he was looking for Sarah Connor?

He “shed his coat”, did he? If it’s anything like our cats this time of year, all the police have to do is follow the cloud of hair.

This is awful. Is this east of Franklin TN? It sounds pretty far south of Nashville proper....

Wouldn't that be the case on any morning?

Concealed carry does the naked no good.

More likely it's meth... Those kids go completely nuts when they get a snoot full of meth...
