Waffle House shooting, at least 4 killed

[ABikerSailor]

I'm still wondering why his father wasn't booked on accessory to murder charges. If the father hadn't given the shooter the guns, this might not have happened.

How do we know the father returned the shooter's guns after authorites deemed him unfit to have them? Who said that?

It's been on the news dude. Investigators are still looking into it, but authorities believe the father is the one that gave him back his guns.

The other man responsible in Waffle House shooting (opinion) - CNN

Travis Reinking, the man alleged to have shot up a Waffle House and snuffed out the lives of four innocent souls, thankfully is in custody. But he's not the only one who should pay for this terrible crime if convicted: His father, Jeffrey Reinking, should in that case be held legally accountable, and arguably should face prosecution.

That is because police believe the elder Reinking returned his son's guns — which had been taken from him -- multiple times over, despite Travis Reinking's erratic behavior and even FBI interference. Authorities revoked Travis' firearms identification card and even confiscated his guns, but, investigators believe, his father returned them.

This shooting was not an unforeseeable event, nor was it a random tragedy. It was an act by a man who showed clear signs of aggression and mental illness and who had been deemed by authorities unfit for gun ownership.

Here's another article that says his father gave him back his guns.

Travis Reinking: What we know about the Waffle House shooting suspect - CNN

Officers released the firearms and ammo to Reinking's father, Jeffrey, the report states. Investigators now believe he returned the guns to his son. Of those four weapons, one was the AR-15 style weapon recovered from the shooting scene at Waffle House; two more long guns were taken from Reinking's apartment, police said.

Thanks. But this very article is what caused me to wonder why the rush to blame the father for GIVING the shooters guns back rather than thinking the guns might have been taken somehow without the father knowing.
Unless the father or suspect stated that's what happened all we have is media driven speculation.

I don't know about you but the word "believe" has meaning. In the context of the article it smacks of incertainty. The suspect might have stolen the weapons from his father.

Actually, it is the investigating authorities who said that his father gave him his guns back. The police gave the guns to the father because the son was no longer allowed to have them after he jumped the fence at the WH.

Uh...where is that written in any of the articles you posted? Where did you read that investigators have extracted a confession from the dad or son detailing how the killer acquired his weapons after the WH incident

Dude....................they are still doing the investigation. Give it a couple more days because it usually takes a week before the authorities conclude their findings.

Good advice. But it also applies to you.
You should not contend the father gave the suspect his guns back until that has been proven definitively..

I'm going by what the authorities have said. And, if the son did actually steal the weapons from the father, don't you think that would have come up by now? Especially in light of the fact that the father can be charged as an accessory?

But you have posted what the authorities have said and it doesn't jibe with what you are saying. The word "believe" doesn't seem to register in assessing what you read.
Based on that single word I was unable to
determine the father's culpability but you did.
The authorites may never know the truth if both dad and son lawyered up. Or if the dad is guilty he might be smart enough to just stfu.

Reports released by the Tazewell County sheriff’s office show at least three occasions when Reinking’s father, Jeffrey Reinking, took possession of his son’s guns, only to return them to him.

Aaron said Travis Reinking’s father acknowledged to officials that he gave the weapons back to his son.

Another day and another mass shooting. What happens regularly here is very rare where there is strong gun control.



At least four people were killed and several others were injured early Sunday when a gunman opened fire at a Waffle House in Nashville, Tenn., police said.

The alleged gunman, Travis Reinking, 29, began shooting at patrons around 3:25 a.m. Sunday at the Waffle House, located about 16 miles southeast of downtown Nashville, before fleeing the scene, Metro Nashville police said. Authorities had initially said Reinking was a person of interest, but later said he has been identified as a suspect.

"If you see a nude guy walking around this morning call the police department," Don Aaron of the Metro Police Department told WTVF.

A person at the restaurant had wrestled away the alleged shooter's rifle.



Waffle House shooting leaves 4 dead, several injured; gunman sought

Oh well.....NRA might not find this interesting enough to send another fund-raising letter out about, tho.

What was it about your fake military career that made you realize that guns can be trusted in the hands of government?

Even leftists in the military are overwhelmingly pro-2nd amendment

If they don't have guns they kill with something else traitor. If you have a gun you may survive it. Troll.

Countries with strong gun control also have much lower homicide rates. Seems other ways of killing are much less effective.

Other countries that don't have open borders with third world countries like we do have much lower murder rates. Let's try a plan that makes logical sense first.

So do you smoke dope? Explain your theory that making something illegal prevents people from getting it. The lesson of prohibition is completely lost on you

Thanks for sharing, Rambo.

I'm no Rambo. I'm just a regular, law-abiding, tax-paying citizen that has a family to support and a desire to make it home to them every day.

I don't carry and make it home every day. Stop being so scared.

Not every one does

Another gun free zone.

Was it?

I doubt it. I'm surprised there was not an armed customer

-Geaux

The article says a customer took the rifle from the shooter. Please note the customer did not then shoot the shooter with it.

Swish, the point was to shoot him while he was still armed hopefully before he killed four people

 

[kaz]

There is no contingency if there was the right would not have been declared as belonging to the people.
And the security of a free state includes the security of the individuals who make the state possible

They don't want no stinkin "Free State"....

They want DICTATORS FOR ALL HUMANITY !!!! NOW !!!!

Who is they? All the countries I have mentioned with strong gun control do not have dictators, sorry.

It's funny how the self described "brain" has no idea how to disarm the criminals and yet you claim that disarming honest citizens and leaving the criminals as the only ones with the guns will make us safer

Why is it always about race to you regressives? The first thing you see is color, the first thing I see was an American that did something extraordinary. So take your race baiting bullshit and FOAD.


.

Spare us. Right only sees race when the perp is non white . Then they let the racist flag fly !

That's belied by this thread where it was you leftists who saw only skin color. Another loser admits you have nothing and you're running away under the coward's banner of calling people racists because you have nothing of content or character

That's belied by this thread where it was you leftists who saw only skin color.

Go back to the first few pages and report back on that.

Yes, Edward started that, he's a leftist. Read the thread and report back on that

No, dope. Look for the "13% problem".

I've never heard the term "13% problem" and neither had the Internet. But I agree that raises a question of what "problem" he is referring to. And I don't know him, this is the first time I ever saw his posts. So I read further. The only thing he said was that accurately murder rates among blacks is higher. That's true unless data is racist. It is in black and white ...
