A shooting has recently happened in Tennessee by a man named Travis Reinking. Just nine months ago, Reinking wanted to set up a meeting with the President (what he said) and has been arrested near the White House after crossing a barrier near it. He has shown delusional symptoms and his family has noticed it. After his arrest at the White House, he had to give up three guns, which he somehow managed to get back before he moved to Nashville. On Sunday, he showed up at the Waffle House at 3:19 am, he killed four and wounded 7. He was using a rifle.
This relates to APUSH because of what is happening right now with gun violence and all the talk around it. It is ironic that he would do something like this right after our student led nationwide walkout against the use of guns, especially concerning how guns could get into the wrong peoples hands. As seen, this guy seems delusional and has been quoted as such by his own family. This is absolutely devastating and hopefully they find him soon.
