During the shooting last month, a man wielding an AR-15 shot two people outside of an Antioch, Tennessee Waffle House. He then charged inside and continued shooting. Thats when Shaw sprung towards the shooter, and was successfully able to wrestle the gun away from the bad guy. The shooter fled on foot and eventually was apprehended. Four people were killed in the attack.
