TEHRAN, April 24 - Tennessee police captured Monday the man suspected of gunning down four people at a restaurant in Nashville, America's country music capital.

TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Travis Reinking -- who exhibited "mental instability" and was arrested last year for trying to enter the White House grounds -- was captured in the early afternoon after a more than 24-hour manhunt.

"A tip from the community is what led to the arrest," Nashville Mayor David Briley told a news conference.

The 29-year-old faces four counts of criminal homicide charges for Sunday's pre-dawn shooting that also wounded two people.

Held in lieu of a $2 million bond, he is due in court Wednesday.   

The gunman, nude, shot dead three people and injured at least four more in the early hours of Sunday at a restaurant on the outskirts of Nashville, Tennessee.
