It’s early on a Sunday morning. People are patronizing the Waffle House in Antioch, TN when a deranged killer shot 2 people standing outside the restaurant. He then walked into the business and killed 2 more.
Enter James Shaw Jr. Eating with friends. As the shooter stopped for a moment to look at his weapon, Shaw jumped into action.
He got up and grabbed the weapon from the hands of the shooter. Being grazed by a bullet and burning his hands on the hot barrel. The weapon of choice in this instance being an AR-15.
Upon being disarmed the shooter fled the scene.
Police soon arrived and sorted the situation out. They quickly identified the goof and he was apprehended the following day.
Mr. Shaw denied being a “Hero”…beg to differ sir. A “Hero” in anybody’s book. He saved the lives of a number of patrons and employees of that little Waffle House where people were just eating and visiting with friends and family.
Many thing will be determined about the shooter. Along with a number of reasons why he did this dastardly deed. In the end it’s the bravery and quick action by this fine gentleman who stepped in when the situation required.
Note to Mr. Shaw…Have you ever considered being a police officer? I’m sure Nashville is hiring.
Carry on Sir!
STAY SAFE, BUCKLE UP, WEAR YOUR VEST AND TURN ON YOUR CAMERA!
