One person was killed and at least five others were wounded in a shooting at a Nashville restaurant during Easter brunch celebrations Sunday afternoon and police say they are looking for a suspect who fled in an SUV. “This was not a shootout …This was one person who decided to pull a gun based on an altercation occurring with another man and then he fired multiple shots,” Nashville police spokesperson Don Aaron said. Police said they are seeking Anton Rucker, 46, in the shooting. Authorities say he is a convicted felon and fled the restaurant, Roasted, in a Mercedes SUV. The man who was killed was identified as Allen Beachem, 33, according to a post on X by the Metro Nashville Police Department. Police didn’t name the others who were shot. Those five people have non-critical wounds, Aaron said in an afternoon news conference. Medical responders also transported another person who was possibly grazed by a bullet and a pregnant woman who suffered an apparent panic attack. The suspected gunman had arrived at the restaurant minutes before the shooting with a woman, who also left with him in a Mercedes SUV, Aaron said.
