James Shaw Jr. was hailed as a hero after he wrestled a gun from a shooter at Waffle House in Nashville last Sunday. A total of four people were killed in the attack.

Just hours after the shooting, Shaw also started a GoFundMe page to help support the victims of the attack. As of Sunday afternoon, nearly $200,000 has been raised.
