James Shaw Jr. is hailed as a hero for disarming a gunman that opened fire at a waffle house in Nashville, TN.
James Shaw Jr. is being hailed a hero after he disarmed a man who opened fire on an Antioch Waffle House in Nashville, Tennessee. Police and an eyewitness said Shaw’s actions prevented further bloodshed at the restaurant in Antioch.
According to CNN, the gunman killed four people and injured two more, but the casualties could have been much higher if 29-year-old Shaw hadn’t tackled the shooter to disarm him.
During the shooting, Shaw said he saw his opportunity to take down the shooter after he felt cornered. Police spokesman Don Aaron confirmed Shaw Jr.’s actions, saying that he rushed at the shooter, disarmed him, and threw the assault rifle he was over a counter.
