Waffle House Shooting

A shooting at a Waffle House in Antioch, Tennessee, just outside of Nashville, killed four people on April 22.

The shooter, armed with a semi-automatic rifle, was disarmed when an unarmed man rushed him and wrestled away the weapon.

That man, James Shaw Jr., 29, has been hailed as a hero for likely saving the lives of many others. “I figured if I was going to die, he was going to have to work for it,” he said.

Shaw (pictured) set up a GoFundMe to raise money for the victims. It raised over $225,000.

The shooter was apprehended the following day after a 36 hour manhunt.
