james shaw jr. went into the bathroom. he was trying to escape the shooting, and he noticed, according to police and james shaw's family, that travis reinking had just sort of stopped shooting. he was fiddling with his weapon. at that point that's when james shaw jr. sprung into action. he tackled the shooter, got the gun away from him and then took the gun and threw it across the counter. this unarmed man, james shaw jr., disarming the shooter. he took his jacket off and ran into the woods. they have not been able to locate him at this point. he was spotted, they say, wearing black pants. he must have gone home and put those pants on, they believe. they do not have a motive right now. but four people shot and killed. there were two others who were shot and two others who were injured. one other thing, fred, i spoke to james shaw jr.'s aunt not too long ago. when he was discharged from the hospital with those minor injuries he had, a shot grazed through his elbow, some injuries there. he changed clothes and went to church

james shaw jr., the man with the elbow injury in that photograph. right now he's taking questions from reporters, we'll tell you back there. >> reporter: i would like to know a little bit more about you, are you from the nashville area? i would like to know how your world has kind of changed in the last 12 hours. >> i'm from nashville, my whole life, born and raised here, went to high school, college here, i work here right now. i work for at&t, i'm 29 years old. i have a 4-year-old daughter. and i think i'm a pretty cool guy to be around. >> reporter: do you have any sort of training? did you know you had this in you? >> yeah, i knew i had it in me, but i haven't had any specific combat training, i just fight my daughter every night so i can put her to bed. but i just knew it was me or him or that type of scenario, so i chose to go with what i wanted to go with, and it worked. >> reporter: did you think about your daughter? >> i didn't think about my daughter. on my instagram and facebook everybody

enough is enough. >> we asked james shaw to visit with you today. mr. shaw, since the shooting, has been to church at jefferson street and he agreed to speak with you. what james is going to do is just tell you from his perspective, from his eyes, what he saw and what he did. then after james speaks, there will be other speakers, and at the end, we'll save the end for questions. james, come on up. >> how's it going, everybody? so last night i went out with my best friend. we went to a club out in the antioch area. we left the club at about 2:30ish. we actually went to the bell road waffle house first, but it was pretty packed in there, like two or three times what was in the murfreesboro road waffle house. so we left there, got some gas and then we went to the murfreesboro road waffle house. got there, i think, at about 3:17ish. when we got out of our vehicles, we both saw the gold silverado -- i actually saw the silhouette of his face, but you can't really just judge a person just off of that, so we proceeded in. we sat down at the high chairs, tableto

james shaw jr., the man who stopped the gunman, has said he's no hero. his efforts to help the victims have been nothing short of herculean. >> i'm not a hero. i'm just a regular person. and i think -- >> reporter: on a gofundme page to raise money for the victims' memorials, his initial $15,000 goal was quickly matched and now more than $115,000 raised. in return, a gofundme was started for him, raising more than $100,000 for his recovery. and his 4-year-old daughter's college fund. >> i actually tried to count the hairs on her eyelashes, just because i was just like, i almost didn't see you anymore. >> reporter: at the tennessee statehouse today, others sang his praises. >> he's a best friend, he's a great man. you can see he's very humble. >> reporter: perhaps that's the sure sign of a true hero. >> i'm very grateful to be here. >> reporter: a man like james shaw jr., who doesn't think he is. >> and me saving lives, i saved other lives. so that's probably one of the greatest things i think you could do. >> reporter: for "nightline," i'm erielle reshef

jr. >> if not for 29-year-old james shaw. he confronted the shooter and grabbed his rifle. >> we were scuffling and i managed to get him with one hand on the gun and then i grabbed it from him and i threw it over the countertop. >> a bullet grazed him in the arm. >> mr. shaw saving, obviously, many lives in his rowic action. >> but james said it just came naturally. >> i really wanted to live. i have a 4-year-old daughter. that came to mind. >> two of the shooting victims are still in the hospital. one of them in critical condition. and the suspect is still on the run. phillip. >> our thanks to mya for that report. >>> nearly 2,000 people gathered in albuquerque to remember jennifer riordan, the woman killed on a southwest with flight last weekend when an engine exploded midair. her husband spoke out for the first time since the accident. he thanked the community for their support. he also said riordan's legacy would live on through their two children. >> while physically she may not be here, avery and josh are going to grow

so we have to put james shaw's actions into context, right. the guy took advantage of an opportunity. he heard a pause and he literally disarmed this man and saved lives, right. >> he could have just hidden and saved his own life. >> and he saved lives. it's important for us to say this. that if he didn't have an ar-15, right, he wouldn't have been able to kill four people so quickly, in my view. if he didn't have an ar-15, right, the opportunity to kill even -- to cause even more carnage may not have even been possible. more people could have had an opportunity to be heroic in this instance. we want to understand that in this case, crystalize this for us. everything we find wrong with the current gun control debate, right. and we can say here, we can sit here and say that reinking was mentally unstable or is mentally unstable. we can say that. we can let people make, draw their conclusions between kind of mental health issues and gun violence. what we want to say is there was an ar-15, a weapon of mass destruction in a waffle house that requi
