James Shaw Jr. saved lives when he tackled a shooter and grabbed his assault rifle at a Waffle House in suburban Nashville April 22. Shaw, who has refused to take on the label of “hero,” appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres Show May 2.
Little did the 29-year-old basketball fan know that his favorite basketball player would greet him on the show.
It’s not every day that you get to meet a hero. Yesterday was that day for me. Thank you, @TheEllenShow for making it happen. https://t.
