Suspected Gunman in Waffle House Massacre Arraigned on Murder Charges
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In Tennessee, police have arrested the gunman believed to be responsible
for Sunday morning's mass shooting at a Nashville-area Waffle House,
which left four people dead and four others wounded.
Twenty-nine-year-old Travis Reinking was apprehended early Monday
afternoon not far from his apartment complex. He was carrying a backpack
containing a pistol and ammunition and was arraigned on four counts of
murder. Last year, Reinking had his firearms license revoked by Illinois
police at the FBI's request, after a string of erratic
behaviors-including trespassing at the White House. The guns were then
turned over to his father, who allegedly returned them to his
son-including the AR-15 semiautomatic assault rifle used in Sunday's
attack.
