A man who was only clothed in a green jacket and armed with an AR-15 shot seven people before a customer was able to wrestle the rifle away from him.

But the shooter managed to flee on foot and is still at large.

The vehicle the gunman arrived in is registered to Reinking, who is from Morton, Illinois. 

Authorities said a man believed to be Reinking was last seen walking at a nearby apartment complex. 

He was seen wearing black pants and no shirt.  

In his last post on Facebook, weeks before the shooting, Reinking wrote: ‘The illuminati is real’. 

He shared a YouTube video that has since been taken down because it violates the site’s bullying and harassment policy. 

Waffle House is ‘very concerned’ and ‘gathering all the details’ surrounding the shooting, spokesman Pat Warner said in a statement. 

Warner said that senior leadership is on site and that the restaurant’s ‘thoughts are with those affected’.
