Jury selection starting in Nashville Waffle House shooting

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Jury selection is set to get underway in the murder trial of a man who killed four people at a Nashville Waffle House in April 2018 with an assault-style rifle.

Police have said 32-year-old Travis Reinking was naked save for wearing a green jacket when he opened fire inside the restaurant.

He fled after a restaurant patron wrestled his AR-15 rifle away from him.

After the attack, Reinking was ordered to receive treatment for schizophrenia in a mental facility.

Prosecutors have said they are seeking a sentence of life without the possibility of parole.

Jury selection begins Tuesday and is expected to last for several days.
