James Shaw Jr., who disarmed the gunman at the Waffle House shooting in Tennessee last week, was honored by the Nashville Predators during Sunday's playoff game against the Winnipeg Jets:

In addition to showing him on the scoreboard to a loud ovation, the team also presented him with a personalized jersey before the game, per the Associated Press (h/t ESPN.com). Several first responders from the deadly shooting were also honored.

Shaw wrestled an AR-15 away from a man who had killed four people in a Waffle House. He created a GoFundMe page for the victims' families, with all proceeds going to them.

There is currently more than $200,000 donated to the GoFundMe page.
