Shaw took the gun from the gunman and tossed it behind the counter.
Three people were killed, but police said that if it weren’t for Shaw’s actions, many more would have died.
Thomas’ mother talked about Shaw with her son just before Red Ribbon Week.
Britt Thomas told WZTV that she showed videos of him to her son, too, and is happy that her son decided he wanted to be a local hero.
