Early Sunday morning around 3:25 a.m. a mostly naked man wearing only a green jacket walked into a Nashville, Tennessee, Waffle House and opened fire with a rifle.

Nashville police said a total of six people were shot and two others injured. Four of those people who were shot have died. The two other gunshot victims were receiving treatment at Vanderbilt Hospital.

The suspected shooter, who police have identified as 29-year-old Travis Reinking, fled the scene.

The suspect was then seen walking along Murfreesboro Pike, completely nude, after ditching his jacket, and the search for the suspect is still ongoing.

Metro Nashville police tracked the shooter’s car and warned people that the shooter was last seen walking along Murfreesboro Pike, nude.

Someone visiting the Waffle House wrestled the rifle away from the shooter after he opened fire. Metro Nashville police released a photo of the gun, which appears to be an AR-15.
