NASHVILLE - The Antioch Waffle House, site of a mass shooting on Sunday that left four people dead, has reopened Wednesday.

An employee said 100 percent of the profits made at the Waffle House on Murfreesboro Pike for the next month will go to the victims’ families.

On Wednesday morning outside the Waffle House, four white crosses paid tribute to the four victims in the shooting: Taurean C. Sanderlin, 29; Joe R. Perez, 20; Deebony Groves, 21; and Akilah Dasilva, 23.
