BREAKING: Hero in French train attack reportedly stabbed

[DigitalDrifter]

Damn.

One of the three heroes who thwarted a terror attack on a French train over the summer has been stabbed and is in critical condition, according to reports.

U.S. Airman Spencer Stone was reportedly stabbed repeatedly in Sacramento, Calif. early Thursday morning. CBS News to report the incident.

The U.S. Airforce released a statement confirming that Stone had been "transported to a local hospital and is currently being treated for injury. The incident is currently under investigation by local law enforcement. He is currently in stable condition."

A defense department official also confirmed the stabbing and Stone's condition to ABC News.

Early reports on the stabbing did not identify Stone as the victim. A reporter on the scene for local affiliate KCRA said that according to police, a man had been stabbed several times in the torso and was not at first expected to survive. Police reportedly told KCRA that they were prepared to investigate the incident as a homicide before learning the victim was expected to survive.

Army National Guardsman Alek Skarlatos, who was travelling to Paris with Stone when they stopped an attempted attack on their train in August, solicited prayers for his fellow hero and his family on Twitter Thursday.

Skarlatos, who is now a contestant on "Dancing with the Stars," lives in Roseburg, Oregon, the scene of last week's fatal shooting at Umpqua Community College.

muzzie attacker?

That's my first thought, but just may be an unrelated attack.

Sure hope he pulls through.

How awful! I am reading he is in stable condition so there is hope for a recovery.

At first apparently everyone assumed he wouldn't make it, hope they're all wrong.

If you are in a bar and someone stabs you, does that qualify as a "bar fight"? Isn't "attempted murder" a more appropriate description of the events?

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

The lack of info is suspect in this case.
But then it could just be a bar fight that got out of hand.

 

[Godboy]

muzzie attacker?

My guess is hispanic. They are more stabby, while black people are more shooty.

yes it does, you have no evidence it was attempted murder .
still does not explain why it's more important than all other "attempted murders".

He wasn't expected to live because he was stabbed multiple times in the upper torso. Thats either attempted murder, or just plain murder, if he doesn't pull through. Who said it's more important than other attempted murders?

So they were both punching each other? I haven't seen that evidence yet. Got a link or a quote?

My guess is that as well. Here in Cali...especially Sacramento...it's hispanics and their beloved knives.

Stops a Terrorist Attack in France – Repeatedly Stabbed in Sacramento

No word on by whom or why? Just that he's in the hospital and “police are investigating.”



My guess is that someone will have either caught it on a video or has pictures of it. Short story @ Hero Who Helped Thwart French Train Attack Was ‘Repeatedly Stabbed’ in Sacramento

more erroneous assuming.
