A nude gunman opened fire at a Waffle House in Nashville early Sunday morning, police said, killing four and wounding three.

Police are seeking information on person of interest Travis Reinking, a 29-year-old white man from Illinois. He may have been spotted walking near the Waffle House wearing no shirt and black pants.
"Keep your doors locked, keep your eyes open," Metro Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron told CNN. "If you see this individual - if you see a nude guy walking around this morning - call the police department immediately."
