“I don’t really know, when everyone said that (of being a hero), it feels selfish,” the Tennessean reports Shaw as saying. “I was just trying to get myself out. I saw the opportunity and pretty much took it.”
But the local police very much agree with the term "hero."
"[Shaw] is the hero here, and no doubt he saved many lives by wrestling the gun away and then tossing it over the counter and prompting the (gun)man to leave," CNN reports Metro Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron saying.

Meanwhile, Shaw remains humble.
"I don't want people to think that I was the Terminator or Superman or anybody like that," CNN reports him as saying. "I figured if I was going to die, he was going to have to work for it."
The alleged shooter, 29-year-old Travis Reinking, has yet to be apprehended.
