False Flag? 5 Fast Facts You Need To Know About The Tennessee Waffle House Shooting

Monday, April 23, 2018 By Stillness in the Storm Leave a Comment

(Rachel Blevins) The suspected gunman in the Waffle House shooting is still on the loose and his record shows that he was interviewed by the FBI and his guns were seized after an incident last year.

UPDATE: The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department confirmed that Reinking was arrested around 2 p.m. Eastern on Monday after he was found in a wooded area near Old Hickory Blvd. and Hobson Pk. Officers searched the area after they received a tip that a laptop bag containing “a handwritten ID card bearing the name Travis Reinking” was found on the side of the road nearby.

Antioch, TN – Reports of an early morning shooting at a Waffle House turned into a statewide manhunt as police searched for the suspect who killed four people and injured two others.

Here are five fast facts you need to know about the shooting:

1) The shooter was on the run for more than 24 hours before he was caught

The suspected gunman has been identified as Travis Reinking, 29, from Morton, Illinois. His record consists of a number of encounters with police, which included an interview with the FBI last year.

Reinking was reportedly mostly naked when he entered a Waffle House in the Nashville suburb of Antioch around 3:30 a.m. on Sunday, and he fled the scene wearing only a green jacket. The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department confirmed on Monday morning that its officers are working with a SWAT team to search for Reinking and “there have been no credible sightings” since he was last seen behind his apartment complex Sunday morning.

All schools in the area have been cleared by officers. He was last seen Sun morn behind his apt complex. pic.twitter.com/ChY1ihCdKG

2) The shooter claimed he was suicidal because Taylor Swift was stalking him, and his family began calling police in 2016

Reinking has a history of mental health issues, and law enforcement was well aware of his past delusions. He became obsessed with the idea that Taylor Swift was stalking him in 2014, and according to reports, he told his family that he believed she had hacked his phone and his Netflix account.

His family was so concerned that they called police five times starting in May 2016 to report that Reinking was suicidal because he believed he was being stalked by Swift. Reinking told police that he went to Nashville because it was where Swift started her music career and he tried to confront her in person “in an attempt to get her to stop harassing him.”

3) The shooter was interviewed by the FBI and had his guns seized after he was arrested at the White House in 2017

Reinking was arrested by Secret Service agents when he was caught entering a restricted area of the White House during a trip to Washington D.C. in July 2017. While officials claimed there was no evidence at the time to show that he posed a danger to himself or others, and the misdemeanor charge of “unlawful entry” was dismissed after he completed community service, the incident led to an investigation by the FBI.

After conducting an interview with Reinking, the FBI ordered police to confiscate his guns and his firearms licenses were revoked. The local sheriff acknowledged that Reinking clearly suffers from mental health issues, and police let his father take possession of the guns as long as he promised to “keep the weapons secure and out of the possession of Travis.” It appears that Reinking once again gained access to an AR-15, which is the weapon he reportedly used in the shooting at the Waffle House.

4) A Tennessee congressman used the shooting to call for gun control less than 5 hours after it happened 

Within hours of the shooting, before the families of the victims had time to process the loss of their loved ones, politicians were already using the incident to call for gun control. Rep. Jim Cooper, a Democratic congressman from Tennessee, took to Twitter to insist that “now is the time to discuss change.”

While Reinking’s record shows that he was clearly on police radar, he has a history of mental health issues, he was interviewed by the FBI, and his legal access to guns was already revoked, Cooper claimed that “widespread civilian access to military-grade assault weapons” needs to be stopped.

That starts with restricting widespread civilian access to military-grade assault weapons.

5) The shooter was stopped by a heroic man who grabbed his gun 

While the name Travis Reinking has made headlines as police search for the naked, mentally ill man, there is another name that should be remembered: James Shaw Jr. He is the man who confronted the shooter and ended the bloodshed, and his bravery saved countless lives.

Shaw Jr. rushed Reinking, grabbed the barrel of his AR-15 and pulled it out of the shooter’s hands. Shaw then threw the gun over the Waffle House Counter and pushed Reinking out of the door. He told the Tennessean that the minor wounds he sustained from a bullet that grazed his arm were worth it because he feared he would never be able to see his 4-year-old daughter again.

“I distinctively remember thinking that he is going to have to work for this kill. I had a chance to stop him and thankfully I stopped him,” Shaw Jr. said. “I grabbed the gun and kept it down. He had one hand on it. I pulled it away and threw it over the bar.”

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
