The Nashville Police spokesman Don Aaron told Reinking shot two men outside the restaurant and went inside and opened fire. Aaron said,
He clearly came armed with a lot of firepowers to devastate the south Nashville area. There is a chance that Reinking is at large with two other weapons.

We suspect some mental issues but at this time there's no notes, no verbal explanations so we don't have a motive at this time.
