NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Police have arrested a Tennessee man suspected of an Easter brunch shooting at a Nashville restaurant that killed one person and injured five more. Metro Nashville Police say Anton Rucker was taken into custody Tuesday in Princeton, Kentucky. He is being held there on a fugitive warrant.
