CAPTURED: Waffle House shooter ARRESTED

by The Right Scoop

News has broken that the man who shot up a Waffle House in Tennessee over the weekend has finally been arrested.


Here’s more from WCTV:

Authorities say they have arrested a man suspected of storming a Waffle House restaurant in Nashville and fatally shooting four people with an assault rifle.

Authorities announced that 29-year-old Travis Reinking, was taken into custody Monday.

And from earlier…

Police in Nashville, Tennessee, say the suspect in a quadruple homicide at a local Waffle House stole a BMW car several days earlier.

Metro Nashville Police spokesman Don Aaron told news reporters Monday that 29-year-old Travis Reinking stole the car on the preceding Tuesday from a BMW dealership. Police chased it but opted to track the car via a GPS device. It was recovered the same day at Reinking’s apartment complex— however, authorities did not know Reinking’s identity at the time.

Aaron also said a report of shots fired Monday near a police staging area was not related to the search for Reinking, who remained at large. Police were searching a wide area, and expected soon to have Reinking’s photo posted on billboards.

Aaron said Reinking has “exhibited mental instability,” and may still have a handgun. He urged citizens to be vigilant.

Four people were shot early Sunday at a Waffle House. A patron wrestled the gun away, and the gunman fled.

And from even earlier…

Police believe 29-year-old Travis Reinking may be armed with one of the four guns seized from him last year after he tried to enter the White House to see President Donald Trump.

…

Last July, Reinking was arrested by the U.S. Secret Service after he crossed into a restricted area near the White House and refused to leave, saying he wanted to meet President Donald Trump. Reinking was not armed at the time, but at the FBI’s request, state police in Illinois revoked his state firearms card and seized four guns from him, authorities said.

The AR-15 used in the shootings was among the firearms seized.

Wow. That’s not good.

But the awesome side to this story is the man who fought the gunman, James Shaw Jr, grabbing the AR from the shooter and throwing it over the counter, saving many more from injury or death.
