Tennessee Waffle House reopens after shooting, will donate all proceeds to victims’ families

The Tennessee Waffle House where a deadly mass shooting took place has reopened and will donate 100 percent of its proceeds for the next month to the victims’ families.

Waffle House management told WKRN-TV in Nashville that they will likely place a memorial for the victims inside of the restaurant, but are currently focusing on helping their employees and customers after the shooting.

A Waffle House spokesperson told ABC News that the first person to eat at the restaurant rang up a bill of only $8, but paid a total of $100 to donate to the victims’ families.

A gunman opened fire at the restaurant in Antioch, Tenn., early Sunday, killing four people and injuring several others.

James Shaw Jr. has been hailed as a hero for wrestling the gun away from the shooter. He suffered a gunshot wound and burns.

Shaw has raised nearly $150,000 for the victims’ families in the days since the shooting. In return, reporter Yashar Ali started a similar fundraiser for Shaw which has raised roughly the same amount.

Police in Nashville took suspected gunman Travis Reinking into custody Monday after a manhunt that lasted more than 24 hours.

He has been charged with four counts of criminal homicide, four counts of attempted murder and one count of unlawful possession of a gun in the commission of a violent felony.
