Three dead in restaurant shooting

Three people are dead and four are injured after a shooting at a Waffle House restaurant, according to police in Nashville, Tennessee.

The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said the gunman was a white man with short hair who was wearing only black trousers and a coat.

A customer at the restaurant took the gun from the suspect, who then took off his coat and fled the area.

Police said via their Twitter account that authorities are searching for 29-year-old Travis Reinking. They said they named him as a suspect because the car the gunman arrived in was registered to him.
