As more is becoming known about Travis Reinking, the suspect wanted for murdering four people in a Nashville area Waffle House this morning, were hearing a familiar refrain. Reinking was well known to both federal and state authorities.
In July 2017, the U.S. Secret Service arrested Reinking for being in a restricted area near the White House, according to the Secret Service. After the arrest, his Illinois firearms authorization was revoked and local Illinois police seized four weapons.
The firearms were given back to his family.
Among the weapons seized by those authorities was the AR-15 rifle used at the Waffle House today, said Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron at a Sunday afternoon news conference.
Police believe Reinkings father received the weapons after their confiscation, and returned them to his son. Nashville Police Chief Steve Anderson said he believes under Illinois law, guns seized can be returned to someone who has a valid state authorization.
Reinking is still on the loose and police believe he may be armed. According to an NPR report, the only reason the number of casualties this morning wasnt higher was that Reinkings rifle jammed.
A Waffle House patron who saw that the gunman was apparently struggling or looking at with his rifle, and took advantage of the moment by rushing him, wresting the gun away and throwing it behind the counter prompting the gunman to leave.
Exactly. It's the Bilderbergs who hang out there for informal get-togethers.
Good to see you as well.
Interesting. The page still loads for me. Now (4/23) it looks like much of his limited info has been blocked. At the time I posted the link, more info was available.
Another inbread.
1) What mental illness was he being treated for?
2) Were SSRIs prescribed to him?
3) What one- or two-degrees of separation, separates him from an FBI contact (like the last four or five shooters)."
I would add:
4) What non prescription drugs was he using. Including pot.
I understand that. I think I waste too much time on here sometimes. :)
Good to see you as well.
Well thank you. Hope to see you many years more.
I agree - there are some her that would argue that it’s too dangerous to our rights to use mental illness as a reason to suspend the 2nd Amendment rights of someone....that was the pont of my post.
