Americans Disarm Gunman on France Train, U.S. President Obama Says They Are Heroes

The French incident happened on a speed train from Amsterdam en route to Paris. A gunman with an assault rifle came face to face with a passenger, who tried to overpower him unsuccessfully. Two passengers were seriously injured, and one of the three Americans was reportedly hurt. A French actor, Jean-Hugues Anglade, had his middle finger cut when he broke the glass for the emergency brake to help control the situation. President Obama has recognized the heroism of these men before admiring public.
