Nashville Waffle House Shooting Victims (2018)

by Kirk Fox

Four people were killed…

A man at a Waffle House restaurant Southeast of Nashville shot and killed four people, according to The Tennessean.

Witnesses said the man was semi-nude and shot two people in the parking lot when he got out of his truck. 

He walked into the restaurant and two more people were killed until a customer, James Shaw, bravely wrestled him to the ground and was able to take his rifle away from him.

The suspect has been arrested. 

The victims were identified as: Taurean C. Sanderlin, 29, of Goodlettsville, an employee of the restaurant; Joe R. Perez, 20, of Nashville; DeEbony Groves, 21, of Gallatin, Tennessee; and Akilah Dasilva, 23, of Antioch, Tennessee; who was critically wounded and died at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
