His arm in a sling, U.S. airman Spencer Stone recounted Sunday how he and two other Americans tackled a gunman on a high-speed train in Europe, saying the attacker “seemed like he was ready to fight to the end.” But he added: “So were we.”
Stone, 23, said he was awakened from a deep sleep, and turned around to see a man holding an assault rifle and that it “looked like it was jammed and it wasn’t working.”
One of his friends “just hit me on the shoulder and said ‘Let’s go,”’ before moving in to tackle the gunman.
In his first remarks since Friday’s attack on an Amsterdam-to-Paris train, Stone said he and his friends took down the gunman before choking him unconscious.
Stone, of Carmichael, California, spoke at a live news conference at the U.S. ambassador’s residence in Paris along with Anthony Sadler, 23, a senior at Sacramento State University in California, and National Guardsman Alek Skarlatos, 22, of Roseburg, Oregon.
