'I'm no hero': Man who snatched AR-15 rifle from Nashville gunman

The man credited with saving several lives after snatching an AR-15 rifle from a gunman at a busy Tennessee restaurant has said it was a "selfish" act of self-preservation, and he does not consider himself a hero.

James Shaw Jr, 29, found himself wrestling with the suspect after four people had already been fatally shot at a Waffle House bustling with patrons early on Sunday in Nashville, Tennessee.
