When shots rang out earlier this week at a Waffle House near Nashville, three Haywood County women were there—witnesses to the tragedy that took the life of four people.
Alexis Peeples, Chelsea Owens and Kayla Shaw were at the Waffle House when a man with a gun started firing.
The Brownsville Press interviewed Alexis Peeples this week, and she related how she and her friends, all HHS graduates and former Lady Tomcats, saw the shootings.
Kayla Shaw was in the Waffle House when the shooting started; Peeples and Owens were in a car in the parking lot.
Peeples said she saw the man, allegedly Travis Reinking, drive up, get out of his vehicle with nothing on but what she described as a hoodie, and begin shooting a semi-automatic rifle. She also saw James Shaw Jr. scuffle with the shooter, eventually seeing the gunman run away. They later spotted what they believed to be the shooter— a naked man in a nearby woods—as they left the scene.
You can read the entire account in this week’s edition of the Brownsville Press.
