Residents of Antioch, Tennessee, awoke Sunday to find their neighborhood was back in the headlines, after a barely-clothed gunman opened fire at a Waffle House, killing four people.
Antioch is a neighborhood in Davidson County governed by the city of Nashville.
« Tragedies like today shouldn’t happen, » said Nashville Mayor David Briley in a press conference Sunday afternoon. « It’s been only 7 months since we had another mass shooting here in Nashville and that is far too frequent. »
Authorities are still searching for 29-year-old Travis Reinking of Morton, Illinois, who is wanted for the shooting at the Waffle House.
Antioch residents had another scare in August 2015, when a 29-year-old man wielding a hatchet and pepper spray went after moviegoers at a showing of « Mad Max: Fury Road. » Of the eight people in the theater, three were pepper sprayed by the assailant.
