“he was at a fraternity house party before heading to the Bell Road Waffle House at about 2:30 a.m.” ...that would be a sequitur, right?

Another multiple shooting and before the dead are even in the ground , out pops a Democrat calling for more gun laws. I'm sure this sounds crazy but is it me or do these incidents seem almost like they're scripted?

This guy saved lives today. God, bless him.

Meanwhile, per Fox, the shooter was arrested for going on to restricted area at the White House last year. The feds took his guns (not clear he had them with him at time of White House incident) and gave them to his father. His father gave the guns back to him.

Watching now. Killer Ryan King is another mental case who was on the radar of authorities. Arrested last summer by the Secret Service for actions at the White House. Four weapons were confiscated but after investigation returned to legal owner, King’s father who in turn gave them back to his son. King was nude except for a coat when he opened fire at the Waffle House.

Click on the Tennessean link on the top of the article, there is a picture of the killer and if you scroll the photos, the 6th picture is the one of the hero. Who’s hand was injured as he disarmed the shooter

Now saying that after DC incident, Illinois authorities revoked permits for guns but returned them to the father. It is unclear whether or not he had all or any of them with him in DC.

The killer is now dressed, still has two guns with him, and is at large in the Nashville area.

Fox is taking a break while they get more info and will be back with breaking news shortly.

They are not the hero. The young man who is the hero is black.

Probably, the reason that Fox did not use the young man’s photo? It is owned by Gannett.

Fox gave a link in the text to a Gannett paper in TN instead. The picture is at that link.

He might not have been drinking any alcohol beverage at all.

My husband used to go to those turkey shoots ans thought if he gets drunk he wouldn't miss the target.

He was wroooooooooong. LOL

“Shaw Jr attended church with his mother.”

They both had plenty to thank God for!

Good man!

Shooting up a Waffle House is a hate crime in Tennessee. Hats off to Mr Shaw Jr.
