Travis Reinking, 29, was named as a person of interest, according to police. The vehicle the gunman arrived in is registered to him. Police said he lived in a nearby apartment complex.
Federal and local law enforcement were already aware of Reinking "due to previous interactions," police spokesman Don Aaron said. FBI investigators were on the scene Sunday morning.
A man believed to be Reinking was last seen in a wood line near Discovery at Mountain View Apartments on Mountain Springs Drive, near the Waffle House. The man was wearing black pants and no shirt, police said.

(17,865 posts)My daughter was threatened with blinding at work while her coworkers tackled the man. One of the coworkers was scratched in the eye by the object the man was holding. The charge is a Class D felony (the lowest level) and had a $3,000 bond. This after permanently disabling another person earlier in an assault. A Class D felony has a maximum sentence of five years with the ability to defer or suspend the sentence.
