Kanye West Called Emma Gonzalez His Hero. She Responded by Saying James Shaw Jr. Was Hers

Parkland school shooting survivor Emma Gonzalez was seemingly disinterested in Kanye West’s praise of her.
Just days after the 40-year-old rapper tweeted of his support for President Donald Trump, West shared a photo of Gonzalez and referred to her as “my hero” on Saturday.
In a second post, West shared a selfie that showed he had buzzed his hair. He captioned the tweet, “Inspired by Emma.”
Gonzalez, who has openly rebuked Trump and called for stricter gun laws in the country since the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting on Feb. 14 that killed 17 people, did not return West’s compliment. Copying the format of West’s tweet, she paid tribute to James Shaw Jr., who attacked a gunman who fatally opened fire at a Tennessee Waffle House restaurant on April 22 and likely saved lives by wrestling the assault-style rifle out of the assailant’s hands.
