The mentally unstable gunman suspected of arrested who killed four people in a shooting happened at a late-night in Waffle House restaurant. The mentally unstable manhunter was captured and arrested near his apartment on Monday after hiding from police for more than a day, authorities reported.
Police and federal agents had mounted a massive manhunt in Nashville for 29-year-old Travis Reinking after the attack, in which a gunman opened fire with an assault rifle on a diverse crowd at the restaurant before a customer disarmed him.
Reinking was formally charged late on Monday with four counts of criminal homicide and held on a $2 million bond, court records show.

Construction workers told officers earlier on Monday that a person matching Reinking’s appearance wandered into the woods near a construction site, Metro Nashville Police Department Lt. Carlos Lara told reporters. A detective spotted Reinking, who lay down on the ground to be handcuffed when confronted, Mr. Lara said
Reinking carried a black backpack with a silver semi-automatic weapon and .45-caliber ammunition, Mr. Lara said. Detectives apart the backpack off him while he was handcuffed.
Police spokesman Don Aaron said Reinking requested a lawyer and was taken to a hospital before being booked into custody.
