John Shaw

"Is "a--hole" one word or two?"

- Shaw when asked what his last words were. Detective ​John Shaw is the main character of the film from the 12 Rounds series: ''12 Rounds 3: Lockdown. ''He has this determination that hasn't really been seen before. He cracks jokes but, will be serious when the situation calls for it. He is a great marksman and a great hand-to-hand combatant.

Shaw comes back to his station after where a rookie cop gets killed, he gets shot in the process, and gets PTSD from the experience. Many months later, he has made his return and he finds some evidence that shows that his former partner, Tyler Burke, is corrupt and must get it to Captain Matthews. When Burke finds out about this, he locks the building down and the hunt for Shaw is on. Shaw has only his Sig P226 and 12 rounds in the magazine. One by one, Burke's group falls by either the Sig or a close quarters fight. Shaw eventually is found and captured by Burke and his last man. While this is happening, SWAT are looking to find Shaw and arrest him due to false claims by Burke. Burke gets ahold of the evidence (which is a flash drive disguised as a credit card), and destroys it. Shaw then kills the last guy who is helping Burke and he has one round left.

He contacts Matthews (before there was a jammer but taken down when SWAT entered the building) asks for a way out. She tells him a spot and Shaw gets there. He then finds out Matthews is dirty too and but, is killed by Burke when he sees an oppurtunity to kill her. Burke then, points a gun at Shaw and tells him about what he's built while being a corrupt cop. While Burke is talking about that, Shaw records him and the SWAT bust through the door. Before they can arrest Shaw, he play the recording and shoots Burke in the knee before he (Shaw) can get shot himself.
