I presume you are talking about the young man that got the gun away from

the guy in the Waffle House .. did you see the rap sheet on the shooter ?

Caught outside the White House with Guns.. Guns confiscated and

given back to him by his father ....and here is another problem to add

to the list for gun control ........

I agree .. this young man is a hero .....

James Shaw knew he had to unarm that monster at the Waffle House - before more people were shot. Yes - He's a true hero!!!!!

I found it inspiring to hear that James had taken time to attend church this morning before he went to the press conference. He and the others who survived the Waffle House shooting are probably still in shock. My prayers are for them and for the loved ones of the four victims.

I live near Nashville. This afternoon a news conference was held on one of the local network channels.

Mr. Shaw was so humble that he had tears streaming down his face.

Yes, I agree with other posters, he is a true hero.

For myself i find all the shootings just very horrible, but at the same time when a person steps in and does what they can do ,just very inspiring.

James Shaw Jr. is a very impressive and humble young man.

His little daughter can be very, very proud of her daddy!

He is a fine young man. Well done, James.

Yes, James is a hero in every sense of the word. Yet, he doesn't seem to see himself as such. I really think he should get some sort of award. No telling how many lives he saved. I'm afraid I'd have been frozen with fear.

A true hero!! He saved a lot of lives!! People like James make me proud & give me hope for the future!!

I won't call James a hero because he doesn't want to be called that so I'll call him a honest man who values his life & acted to save himself & in turn saved others. I'm so impressed by him, I wish him all the best! Prayers for those who were killed & injuried in thiis cowardly act... it's hard to find the words.

@corita, The President of Waffle House was at the local new conference and stated how thankful he is for James' act of courage. He went over and gave James a big hug. It was so touching!!!!

I'm sure WH will give James a nice reward of some kind. He truly deserves it!!!

Yes, I saw that footage on TV. James seems to be such a kind, humble man!!
Still hopeful that James will get an award or free food for his valor!! Don't know if this applies to James, but maybe funds for college or future expenses?????

As of the last few minutes, the shooter has been captured.

A senseless crime, a demonstrably seriously disturbed young man with a list of inexplicable behavior, a parent who did not appear to understand the needs of his adult child, a legal/mental health system stressed to manage such cases with fairness to all involved.........a tragedy.

And most certainly, the emergence of a humble honest hero!

I saw on the Today Show this morning that he started an online campaign to help the victims' families. So far $70,000 has been raised.

~~Saw where a Nashville judge gave the shooter a $2MM Bond.~~

~~With only 10% ($200,000), this killer could be out walking the streets.~~

~~Sounds like a lot of money, but for someone w/ an agenda,~~

~~they could make it happen.~~

~~James Shaw, Jr...bless his heart.~~

~~Must be unsettling hearing this news.~~

UPDATE:

The judge just revoked the Bail due to public pressure.

Thank Goodness.

There is also A GOFUNDME page set up for Mr. Shaw himself now, up to $60,000, with many celebs donating.
