NASHVILLE – A nude gunman shot dead four people and injured at least four more in the early hours of Sunday at a restaurant in the southeastern US state of Tennessee, police said.
The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said in a statement that the shooting occurred at a Waffle House in Antioch, a suburb southeast of Nashville, at 3:25 am.
“A patron wrestled away the gunman’s rifle. He was nude & fled on foot. He is a white man with short hair,” the statement added.
The police are asking residents to lock their doors and stay alert. “Keep your doors locked, keep your eyes open. If you see this individual — if you see a nude guy walking around this morning — call the police department immediately,” Metro Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron said.

A manhunt for the suspect, believed to be Travis Reinking, 29, who went on the run shortly after the shooting, was underway.
Three of those injured are in a critical condition in hospital, and one is critical but stable, ABC News reported.
Pat Warner, head of public relations for Waffle House, called it a “very troubling” situation.
“We are sending our corporate team from Atlanta and heading to Nashville now,” Mr Warner told ABC. “Our thoughts are with those affected.”
So far, the motive for the shooting appears to be random, police said.
