EKIN (25 News Now) - Jeffrey Reinking was sentenced to 18 months in prison Friday in the Department of Corrections for providing the deadly rifle used in the 2018 Waffle House shooting.

The start of Reinking’s sentence has been delayed 90 days, while he and his attorney start an appeals process.

Reinking barely moved as Judge Christ Doscotch passed down his sentence. A packed gallery of friends and family offered a mix of shock and sadness. Also among the gallery were the family of the four victims killed by Travis.

Jeffrey Reinking was found guilty of knowingly giving a weapon to his son who was struggling with psychotic mental illness last year. His defense adamantly argued throughout the case Jeff was unaware of his son’s struggles with mental illness.

2. Yes, but it's a big step in the right direction.

We see too few prosecutions of the people supplying guns to dangerous people and children.

3. Its a good conviction.
