3 Americans and 1 Brit thwart armed assassin as he tried to massacre everyone on the bullet train to Paris France. Spencer Stone, Alek Skarlotos, Anthony Sadler and Chris Norman. One of the men, Spencer is in the United States Air Force and Alek is in the National Guard, and Anthony is a Senior at Sacramento State University, and Chris is a British businessman. The gunman started to fire at the other passengers and the 3 Americans sprang into action along with Chris and tackled the shooter, taking his AK47 from him and then beat the shit out of him. Spencers' thumb was sliced with a box cutter the assassin had and he also received a black eye, but that didn't stop him. They beat, the would be killer, later identified as 26-year-old Moroccan Ayoub El-Khazzani. He has been detained and is being questioned by French counterterrorism police outside Paris.
President Francois Hollande said the two Americans who first tackled the gunman were soldiers, "but on Friday you were simply passengers. You behaved as soldiers but also as responsible men."
He then presented the men with the Legion of Honor and praised them as an example of the need for action when faced with terrorism. Yes, indeed. Thank God these 4 were not seriously injured during the scuffle.
The 3 Americans are now staying at the US Embassy in Paris and have security details to protect them reprisals by ISIS or any one else upset over what they did. I hope that our President awards them with a Medal also. They are REAL heroes and deserve to be recognized all over the world. Its not every day that "every day joe cools" stop terrorist in their tracks risking life and limb in the process. God Bless these 4 men. That nutjob had 8 magazines for his AK47 he could have killed all 500 passengers on the train and then some.
