A Nashville judge has revoked the bond of a man accused of killing four people at a Waffle House restaurant.
 
Court records show that a judge struck the $2 million bond for Travis Reinking until a hearing can be held Wednesday. The records did not give a reason why General Sessions Judge Michael Mondelli revoked the bond. 
 
Reinking has been charged with four counts of criminal homicide. Police say the 29-year-old man opened fire Sunday outside the restaurant with an AR-15 rifle and then stormed the restaurant, wearing only a green jacket. Four other people were injured in the shooting.
 
An attorney listed as Reinking's lawyer did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment. 

In a brief address that drew a standing ovation, the man who snatched an AR-15 rifle away from Reinking has told state lawmakers he faced ``the true test of a man.''
 
As the Republican-led House honored him Tuesday, James Shaw Jr. said he acted to save his life, and saved others in the process. He said he never thought he'd be in a room with all eyes on him.
 
Shaw Jr. has said he made a split-second decision to challenge the suspect. He got the gun away and threw it over a counter.
 
His father, James Shaw Sr., and longtime friend Brennan McMurray also briefly spoke Tuesday.
 
The Senate will also honor Shaw Jr. Tuesday afternoon.
