Shooting at Tenn. Waffle House–4 Dead, More Casualties

|Updated:

At least four people died when a nearly nude gunman opened fire at a Waffle House restaurant near Nashville, Tennessee, early Sunday, April 22. Police were issuing murder warrants as they hunted for the suspect.

The death toll could have been higher if not for fast action by a 29-year-old “hero” who snatched away the shooter’s rifle, likely saving many more lives, said Don Aaron, spokesman for the Metropolitan Nashville Police.
