Early in the morning on April 22, a man armed with a semi-automatic rifle arrived at the Waffle House in Antioch, Tennessee, with intent to kill. He succeeded in murdering four people, but his gun was wrestled out of his hands by a man named James Shaw Jr. before he could do any more harm.
The incident was covered by news outlets all across the world, but most mainly focused on Shaw or the shooter himself---but the true scope of this saga extended well beyond those two.
