A 29-year-old man was hailed a hero Sunday after he seized the opportunity to wrestle the gun away from the shooter at a Tennessee Waffle House, saving countless lives during a rampage that left at least four people dead and several others injured.
James Shaw Jr. was dining at the Waffle House in Antioch, about 16 miles southeast of downtown Nashville, around 3:25 a.m. when alleged gunman Travis Reinking opened fire outside the restaurant. Shaw told the Tennessean he “saw the opportunity” to potentially stop the attack during the hail of bullets.
