(CNN)     As soon as gunshots tore through a Waffle House, James Shaw Jr. bolted and hid in a restroom.



But he kept an eye and an ear out for the gunman. And the moment the shooter paused, Shaw decided to ambush him.



That heroic act by a customer saved countless lives at a Nashville-area Waffle House, where a seminude gunman killed four people early Sunday morning.


Shaw "saw the gunman looking at his rifle. At that point, the shots had stopped," Metro Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron said.








    "So he decided to rush the gunman, actually wrestled that assault rifle away, tossed it over the counter. At that point, the gunman then fled."
