In the early hours of April 22, 2018, a gunman opened fire inside a crowded Waffle House outside Nashville, killing four people and injuring several others. Amid the chaos, 29-year-old James Shaw Jr. rushed the attacker, wrestling away the AR-15 rifle and forcing him to flee. Shaw’s split-second act of courage saved countless lives that night and turned him into a national symbol of bravery. This episode of The Good Samaritan tells the story of terror, tragedy, and one man’s decision to risk everything to protect strangers.
