Waffle House Hero James Shaw Jr. Honored By Nashville Predators
James Shaw Jr. Waffle House Hero Honored At NHL Playoff Game
Waffle House hero James Shaw Jr. -- the man who wrestled an AR-15 out of the hands of a shooter -- got one helluva hero's welcome at the Nashville Predators game Sunday ... and it was awesome!
The NHL team invited Shaw and his family as VIP guests to the playoff game vs. the Winnipeg Jets to thank him for the bravery he showed during the April 22 attack at a Nashville-area Waffle House.
Before the game, Shaw (wearing a shirt that said, "Spread Love") met with Preds coach, Peter Laviolette -- who presented Shaw with his own personalized jersey.
During the game, Shaw was featured on the big stadium screen at Bridgestone Arena and the crowd went WILD!!
As for the game, it was a fight -- but the Predators managed to pull off a 5-4 victory in double overtime.
By the way, Shaw's injuries seem to be doing a lot better. He's no longer wearing the wraps around his hands -- which he had burned by grabbing the piping hot barrel of the gun, after it had fired several rounds, and ripping it away from the shooter.
#Hero.
