WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has spoken with a Tennessee man who wrestled an assault-style rifle away from a gunman at a Nashville Waffle House.
White House spokesman Raj Shah says Trump and 29-year-old James Shaw Jr. spoke Monday. Shah had no other details about the conversation.
Shaw and a friend were dining at a Waffle House in Nashville on April 22 when a gunman wearing only a jacket opened fire outside with an AR-15 rifle before storming the restaurant. Four people were killed. Shaw and three others were injured.
Shaw has been hailed as a hero for wrestling the rifle away and throwing it over a counter.
The suspect, 29-year-old Travis Reinking, was apprehended the next day. Reinking faces charges of criminal homicide and attempted criminal homicide.
Finally…
Did he ask him who he voted for and whether he would be loyal? That is what inquiring minds wish to know…
By what means did they speak? Phone? Skype? Email? Telepathy?
Doesn’t seem like Trump has invited Mr. Shaw to the White House, now has he? I doubt it.
“…except to confirm that Trump was not wearing any pants at the time.”
I’m guessing that was an interesting conversation, but not in a good way.
I’m sure Trump spent the entire time talking about Trump and what Trump has done and how great Trump is.
