NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Prosecutors won’t seek the deathpenalty for a man accused of killing four people at a Tennessee Waffle House.

Authorities say Reinking was nearly naked when he openedfire in April 2018 at the Waffle House with an assault-style rifle.
The case was put on hold for months after the attack whileReinking was treated for schizophrenia. A judge later deemed him fit for trialand he was indicted last year on 17 counts including murder.
