Killer’s dad could be charged for giving weapons to son

firearms back after authorities confiscated them about eight months ago when he was arrested for trying to break into the White House.

On Sunday, a SWAT team combed through the his apartment, talking through a loudspeaker in search of Reinking.

Roughly 160 Nashville cops searched through a brutal rain Monday, aided by state troopers, the FBI and federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents.

Nashville Mayor David Briley said the next step was to “help the families who lost their loved ones and who are still suffering in the hospital right now.

“We need to move on as a community and do what we can to curb this violence in the future.”

Survivors and loved ones were still trying to grapple with the tragedy, including the brother of Akilah Dasilva, 23, who was fatally shot inside the Waffle House.

“I’m just still processing it in my head,” Beatty Dasilva, who was at the eatery with Akilah when the gunfire broke out, told CNN after Reinking’s arrest.

“My mom is happy that he’s caught. It’s a sense of relief, but at the same time I’m still getting it all processed in my head.”

Akilah Dasilva’s girlfriend, Shanita Waggoner, 21, was in stable condition at Vanderbilt University Medical Center after being wounded, a spokesman confirmed.

Reinking got out of his gold Chevy Silverado and first shot Waffle House worker Taurean Sanderlin, 29, and Joe Perez, 20, a customer, outside the restaurant.

Inside, he killed 21-year-old DeEbony Groves and wounded Sharita Henderson, who remains in stable condition at Vanderbilt.

“Me, my husband and sons are broken right now with this loss,” Perez’s mother, Trisha Perez, said in a Facebook post. “Our lives are shattered.” Reinking was charged with four counts of murder, Aaron said.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Monday that President Trump offered his “condolences to the victims and their families.”

More people likely would have died if customer James Shaw, 29, hadn’t charged at Reinking when he stopped to reload, law enforcement and witnesses said.

“I just saw my opportunity and attacked,” Shaw said Monday morning on NBC’s “Today” show.

“I did learn that he did actually have other magazines in his gun, and he could’ve reloaded,” said Shaw, whose right elbow was grazed by a bullet during the melee. “I’m glad I acted.”

Reinking moved to Nashville last fall and recently lost his construction job. He started a new one last Monday, but didn’t show up the following day, officials said.

In August, police in his native Illinois had taken away the AR-15 rifle Reinking used at the Waffle House after his arrest for trying to break into the White House.

Reinking’s father — who took possession of the assault rifle, a handgun and two hunting rifles — could now face charges for giving those weapons back to his son, an official with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms said Monday.

“It is possible,” said Marcus Watson, the ATF’s acting special agent in charge in Tennessee, after Reinking was arrested. “If you transfer weapons knowingly to a person that is prohibited, that could potentially be a violation of federal law.”
