The 29-year-old man who is being hailed as a hero after he intervened to disarm an active shooter at a Tennessee Waffle House says he has yet to hear from President Trump or the White House.
James Shaw Jr. told CNN’s Van Jones on Saturday that he hasn’t been in touch with anyone from the White House, but said that it was possible he missed the call or that Trump had not yet gotten around to it.
The White House said Tuesday that it had reached out to coordinate a potential meeting between Trump and Shaw.
“I haven’t heard anything, but that’s not to say he didn’t try to contact me, or not,” Shaw said. “I know he has a busy agenda, a busy schedule. Maybe he just hasn’t got around to me. Maybe my time is coming.”
“It’s not for me to judge really what he does,” Shaw added. “I did what I did and I didn’t really do it for recognition.”
