Today's Good Guy With No Gun story
After sitting in the truck for a few minutes, the gunman came out wielding an "assault-type rifle" and fatally shot two people outside the Waffle House. He then went inside the restaurant (and) continued firing.

Re: Today's Good Guy With No Gun story
The killings stopped only because of the heroics of a customer who heard the gunshots and hid near the restaurant's bathrooms.
Police said the customer, identified by a relative as James Shaw Jr., monitored the gunman's moves from afar and jumped into action when he saw an opportunity.
"He saw the gunman looking at his rifle. At that point, the shots had stopped. So he decided to rush the gunman, actually wrestled that assault rifle away, tossed it over the counter. At that point, the gunman then fled.

" James Shaw Jr. is the hero here, and no doubt he saved many lives by wrestling the gun away and then tossing it over the counter, and prompting the man to leave," police said.
The gunman managed to escape and is still on the run...
