The Waffle House Shooting Hero Is Raising Money for the Victims

Roughly 12 hours after it was created, a GoFundMe campaign to help the victims of this weekend's Waffle House shooting exceeded its initial $15,000 fundraising goal. By Monday afternoon, donors had brought the fundraising total to over $32,000.

Donors seem to have been particularly quick to contribute to the cause based on who created the fundraising campaign: James Shaw Jr., the 29-year-old hero who wrestled the Waffle House gunman's weapon away from him and stopped the killing.
