    James Shaw Jr., a patron at the Waffle House called a "hero" for wrestling the gun away from the shooter, on the incident: "The gun was kind of jammed up, and it was pushed down, so we were scuffling... and then I grabbed it from him, and I threw it over the countertop."pic.twitter.com/m5r6yJ6gf5

        To be clear, the only thing that stopped that bad guy with a gun was a good guy without one.

        Many people look past the gesture he made to this mass shooter, he not only took the gun from him but instead of turning it back towards him and taking his life too after he just took 4 innocent lives ; he threw it over the counter that takes courage and heart to do 💯🙏🏼

        If the police had pulled up and saw the two struggling over the gun, which do you think would have been shot?

        OMG I don’t even want to think about it even though it’s a good question. So I’ll just say thank God they didn’t.

        Why is "hero" in quotes?

        Exactly. They can lose the quotes on hero

        Probably because it is a quote, as in what people have been saying. The over use of quote marks for, so called or similar, has a lot to answer for.

        @POTUS better tell @realDonaldTrump & @NRA that #JamesShaw is truly a brave man who stopped further gun violence without a gun in his hand. No bombastic boasting like we get from the current @WhiteHouse. A true US resident making a valuable difference #Midterms2018 #GunContolNow

        What a brave and heroic guy, rushing a gunman empty-handed. He deserves every medal there is.

        Thank You James Shaw Jr., your a real inspiration to America's youth and you will be remembered as a real "AMERICAN HERO". It's so tragic that 3 injured and 4 killed but given that this was an AR-15, the death toll could have been far greater if not for your actions.
