Police continue to look for the gunman, who had just been at the restaurant and was asked to leave after getting into a disagreement with a restaurant employee about his tab.

Police on Saturday night provided a more detailed descrirtion of the man, whose name is not known.

Authorities said he is white with a dark complexion, is missing his front four teeth and is believed to be in his late 20s to early 30s and about 150 to 160 pounds. The unshaven gunman had a short ponytail. He had large-gauge earrings and double-pierced ears. He also wore rings on each finger as well as several necklaces, according to Knoxville police.

He wore dark blue, baggy jeans, black boots, and a black hoody with a white stitching pattern. He carried a large black backpack.

After leaving Hooters, the man walked out, pulled a .40-caliber pistol and started shooting into the restaurant, then ran away, Miller said.
