Waffle House shooting: Suspect Travis Reinking previously arrested outside White House

The 29-year-old Illinois man accused of carrying out a fatal shooting Sunday morning at an Antioch Waffle House previously had weapons removed from his possession after a 2017 arrest near the White House.

Travis Reinking opened fire early Sunday morning at the Waffle House, killing at least four people, Nashville police say. At least seven others were injured.

In July 2017, the U.S. Secret Service arrested Reinking for being in a "restricted area" near the White House, according to the Secret Service.

"He wanted to set up a meeting with the president," said Secret Service representative Todd Hudson.
