\nThe suspect approached the fast food place at around 3:25 AM firing into the building from the parking lot before entering and continuing his assault, according to The Tennessean newspaper.
Metro Nashville police told the media that there might have been more victims were it not for a 29-year-old patron who heroically jumped up and disarmed the shooter. The suspect then fled after his rifle was taken from him.
Police named 29-year-old Travis Reinking, who lives in an apartment near the eatery, as a person of interest in the attack. Officials also said that had \u201cprevious interactions\u201d with the police.
Reinking was allegedly last seen running nude through a patch of woods nearby, authorities said. The MNPD also said that Reinking\u2019s truck is registered in Morton, Illinois, and authorities have contacted officials in Illinois seeking information.
Witness Chuck Cordero, 50, told The Tennessean that he saw the shooter get out of his car and immediately open fire.
\u201cHe did not say anything. He pulled up, got out of his car and was all business,\u201d Cordero said.
Cordero also praised the young patron who bravely disarmed the attacker.
\u201cHe really saved some people. I\u2019m positive he did,\u201d Cordero exclaimed. \u201cHad that guy had a chance to reload his weapon, there was plenty more people in that restaurant.\u201d
Nashville Mayor David Briley released a statement calling for prayers for the victims and cooperation with authorities.
\u201cMy heart goes out to the families and friends of every person who was killed or wounded in this morning\u2019s shooting,\u201d Briley said in the statement \u201cI know all of their lives will be forever changed by this devastating crime.\u201d
The shooting took place in the Antioch neighborhood about two miles from the church where African American suspect Emanuel Kidega Samson killed one and injured nine others in a shooting in September.
