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

james shaw jr. there in the nation nashville area, james shaw, really kudos to you, i know you don't want to be called a hero, but your acts are very heroic, we heard the police, the mayor, et cetera. it's extraordinary to hear your very riveting account of everything you observed from when this suspect, travis reinking actually walked into the waffle house, as you were about to enjoy a meal with your friends there after, you know, early morning hours, what 3:00 in the morning. i would love for you to describe one more time, kind of the expression, why it was that reinking did kind of catch your eye when he walked in, not knowing at the moment that he was about to unload his ar-15? >> could he say that again? >> okay, i'm going to ask that one more time. sorry that this audio is a difficult things right now. but describe for me one more time, what was it about the suspect that caught your eye when he walked in? >> so he never really walked in. he was sitting in his car. he was sitting in his truck, a

as he was shooting, a patron of the restaurant, james shaw jr., ran to the restroom area of the waffle house, saw that the shooting had stopped and saw an opportunity to intervene. mr. shaw wrestled the rifle away from reinking and tossed it into another part of the restaurant to end the gunfire. mr. shaw saving, obviously, many lives in his heroic action. re reinking entered the restaurant and got out of the truck, nude except for a green jacket. a block away from the waffle house, or not even a block, he shed the green jacket and continued southbound on murfreesboro pike on foot. when we recovered that green jacket, there were two magazines containing ar-15 ammunition. he clearly came armed with a lot of fire power intending to devastate the south nashville area. the police department's hazardous devices unit, the bomb squad, if you will, responded to the waffle house to ensure that there were no explosives in rein reinking's truck. the police department didn't search the truck until we were sure that it was safe. once the bomb squad cleared the truck, we learned from paperwork insid

they say that james shaw jr. ran to the bathroom when he heard the shots and he says he decided it's fight or flight, i have to do something. he tackled the shooter was able to get the gun away from him and pushed him out of the restaurant. after that that is when the shooter, police say, walked off into the woods. he hasn't been in nashville long, he moved here in autumn of 2017. but the summer before, in july of 2017, he had a run in washington d.c., u.s. secret service arrested him trying to get into the white house. he said he was a sovereign citizen and he had a meeting with donald trump. they took him off, put him in a program to get him through that and let him go. but the fbi and illinois authorities visited him, interviewed him and later illinois revoked his authorization to own guns. they confiscated four weapons. they gave them to his father and police now say that his father has acknowledged that he decided to give those four guns back to his son. one of those weapons, the ar-15 was, police say, used

a young man named james shaw jr. managed to wrestle the gun out of reinking's hands. but he insists he is not a hero. >> heroes seem kind of like they are not touchable. if i'm looked at as a regular person, somebody else in this situation, they have this same thing within them, they can project that also. >> why do you think he's a hero? i don't know about you guys, i think he is. listen, julia, the shooter, travis reinking, was apprehended, just a short time ago, after a day-long manhunt. what questions do you have tonight? >> so, mostly, to motivation, i think at this stage. >> reinking owns at least four firearms which he had to surrender after a series of issues. authorities gave the guns to reinking's father. of those four members, one was a bushmaster ar-15 style rifle, recovered from the waffle house. what should have happened to those weapons? >> well, first of all, the father shouldn't have given them back to him, but apparently he did, and now we see what happened. but again, that just shows weaknesses in our gun laws. we can't effectively seize weapons and

it was packed in there, and james shaw jr. told the affiliates he wasn't supposed to be at this waffle house, he had gone to another waffle house, that was too crowded, he made his way here. after he scuffled with the gunman, that's when reinking took off running. i was on the phone just now with the national police department trying to get more details about how he was captured, in what capacity, where he was at. those are all questions we're trying to get answers to right now, brooke. >> appreciate you trying to do that. i know you'll get the details, nick. thank you so much. if you are just joining us and you've been following this horrific story out of tennessee. this fatal shooting, four young people shot and killed inside that waffle house, the man nude, ran off into the woods, after the hero. let's say his name again. james shaw jr. grabbed his gun and tossed it to the side. we know that he has now been apprehended, this individual you are looking at there is now in custody, how law enforcement caught him, that is quest

. >> james shaw, jr. confronted the gunman and took his rifle. >> i thought, he's going to get us either way, or get me either way, so i was looking for an opportunity, waiting for a chance. when i saw the barrel down, i just saw my opportunity. i attacked. >> no doubt, he saved many lives by wrestling the gun away. >>> this is the president's huge foreign policy week. just a few hours from now, he will welcome french president emanual macromacron. later this week, he'll host angela merkel. >> they'll discuss everything from syria to trade wars, with macron expected to press president trump not to pull out of the iran nuclear deal. >> new developments surrounding north korea and august jsuggest leader there is taking the american president for a ride. >> wow, we haven't given up anything, and they have agreed to denuclearization. so great for world. north korea hasn't agreed to denuclearize. >> we're not going to stop pressure until they denuclearize. >> he views having deliverable nuclear weapons as his

could have been even worse, if not for the actions of james shaw jr., who wrestled the gun away fromat point did you realize something terrible was happening? >> probably when the glass was broken and shattered and there was dust in the air and i looked back and there was a gentleman right there beside the entrance of waffle house and he was laying down on the ground, he was no longer alive, and he shot again and that's when i jumped from my seat and kind of slid on the ground to the entrance of the bathroom. when he started shooting, i actually jumped and lunged towards the bathroom area, and i was actually looking at him and when he actually shot towards the bathroom area and i was actual lly grazed with a bulletn my upper right elbow. after that, i think he had to reload. i saw an opportunity to kind of take advantage of him, so, i ran through the door as fast as i could, and i hit him with the door and i kind of made him a little woozy, and he kind of let go of the gun, and then we was tussling for the gun, kind of wrestling for it, he had it in one hand, and that's when i took i
