Im jim axelrod, and this is the western edition of the broadcast. We begin tonight in france with a story that sound like something out of a hollywood thriller that stars three very real american heroes. One is an air force airman, another an Army National guardsman, and the third is a pal from california they were traveling with on a train from anthony amsterdam to paris. Thats when the three americans jumped into action. Charlie dagata picks up the story. Reporter video that appears to be shot inside the train shows the suspect face down and tied up. You can see a rifle he was carrying and one of the american men who brought him down after seeing a french passenger first confront the gunman, 22yearold National Guardsman Alek Skarlatos and his two friends moved in. I saw a guy entering the train with an a. K. And a handgun, and i just looked over at spencer and said, lets go, go. And he jumped up, and i followed behind him by about three seconds. Reporter u. S.
