James Shaw Jr. on why he wrestled an assault rifle out of the hands of a man killing indiscriminately in a Tennessee waffle house.

I did that completely out of a selfish act. I was completely doing it just to save myself. Now, me doing that, I did save other people. But I don't want people to think that I was the Terminator, or Superman or anybody like that. It was just, I figured if I was going to die, he was going to have to work for it.
