On the night of Friday to Saturday, seated in a restaurant Arras, his pale pink shirt bore traces of blood, bearing witness to the violence of the confrontation with the shooter. In the late afternoon, he covered a wide black jacket, beige trousers but his remains studded with dried blood.
Chris Norman did “not find sleep,” says t- he. Impatient to regain his, it will nevertheless take time to trace the film of the previous day events. Seeing this man armed with a Kalashnikov, his first reaction was to “sit and hide.” “Then I said, OK, I’ll probably die, so as to go, he says. Our only chance to survive was to act together. “Humble, it ensures that the real heroes are Alek, Anthony and Spencer, the three friends Americans with whom he has mastered Ayoub al-Khazzani, over-armed, in the car 12.
Spencer Stone is the first to have intervened in the car, as soon confided yesterday morning at Parisien.fr Alek and Anthony. Installed on adjacent seats, the three friends on holiday in Europe first heard a gunshot. “An employee of the train appeared, running down the hall, chased by the shooter. “At this moment, Alek, military in American National Guard, launches his friend:” Spencer, c’mon! “Spencer, army soldier, US Air, running, jumping on the gunman. His two companions joined him, then it was the turn of Chris intervene. “He was overpowered and wrestled to the ground.
