Waffle House shooting aftermath

Early in the morning on April 22, a man armed with a semi-automatic rifle arrived at the Waffle House in Antioch, Tennessee, with intent to kill. He succeeded in murdering 4 people, but his gun was wrestled out of his hands by a man named James Shaw Jr. before he could do any more harm. It would be impossible to tell the tale of everyone affected by the events of that night, so instead we’ll shed some light on three people with incredible stories that have gone overlooked: a father of four, his mother, “I almost didn’t make it back,” said Michael Garth Sr. and the waitress “this man is about to come around the corner and kill my fiancé and me,” said Virginia Stanley. who changed both of their lives forever.
