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 After the arrest, his Illinois firearms authorization was revoked and local Illinois police seized four weapons.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.
Arrest and prosecute his father too.
Apparently his now-deleted Facebook account had a bunch of posts about Illuminati conspiracies.
Personally, I want to know the following:
1) What mental illness was he being treated for?
2) Were SSRI’s prescribed to him?
3) What one- or two-degrees of separation, separates him from an FBI contact (like the last four or five shooters).
His guns were confiscated and given to a family member,OK in Ill.. His father gave them back to him.
Dad is in deep Dodo
Dad is probably going to want to retain a lawyer right about now. This being said, his son moved to TN where an Illinois FOID card isn't required.
So who deleted his facebook since these killings? Since he is still on the run, I doubt he has time to check his facebook.
Where was the perp living, or was he homeless? If he had legal residence somewhere, did the state he was living in have provisions for involuntary commitment. If so, WTH didn’t LE in that state and/or the perp’s family get the perp hospitalized?
From the White House to the Waffle House
His apartment was across the street from the Waffle House. He ran back to the apartment after the shooting. He could have deleted it then or law enforcement could've asked Facebook to remove it.
Most likely, he deleted it himself as there are plenty of Facebook accounts of criminals and killers that remain on-line.
Has there been any info anywhere on whether or not the perp was currently being treated for mental illness?
This today.....and ALL the many shootings lately are.....IMO.....a coordinated effort ......
....coordinated, planned, funded
Really so obvious......GUN CONTROL
They are desperate that time is running out for them
Waffle House......Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.....First Baptist Sutherland Springs, Texas, etc.......
......keep us off our toes, who is next?
PLANNED...PLANNED....PLANNED!
If he thought the Illuminati were meeting at Waffle House then he is doubly crazy.
I'm seeing a pattern here";^)
As long as the shooter is white, we know a lot about him within mirror hours.
If this shooter were a black man we would never hear about the shooting even.
Something is going to change with our racist press
Nope, not crazy.
That's where we meet every fourth Sunday.
Naw, everybody knows the illuminati meet at the piggly wiggly.
