BREAKING: Hero in French train attack reportedly stabbed

What are the odds of being attacked again just a few months after being involved in another attack?

Or the odds that one of the other French train hero's would be enrolled at Umpqua Community College, and would have been there the day of the shooting had he not been taping a 'Dancing With The Stars' segment.

Yea! What are the odds?

Are all of you people freaks?

Did you forget to go to bed last night ?

Awesome weird non sequitur humor, there, dummy. Maybe that's connected to some Muslim terror plot too?
 
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.

I think anyone who thinks that there is any possibility that the French train incident, the UCC shooting and this bar stabbing are in any way related....and that there is a consideration of odds to that effect........is a fucking idiot.

Is that clear?

Well, that's not what I meant. I just mean being involved in two such incidents within such a short time frame.

Sacramento Police Chief Sam Somers Jr. announces the arrest of James Tran, Nov. 4, 2015, who is charged with the attempted homicide of Airman 1st Class Spencer Stone during an altercation in October, in Sacramento, California.​

Police say the assault had nothing to do with the European terror plot, but involved an alcohol-fueled fight between two groups in a popular nightclub district. They have not said what led to the argument, but that there is no indication the assailants knew who Stone was. Stone, 23, has since been released from the hospital and was promoted to staff sergeant from airman 1st class.

In August, Stone suffered a knife wound to the neck and a severely cut thumb when he and two childhood friends stopped the attempted terror attack. Stone, National Guardsman Alek Skarlatos and college student Anthony Sadler were vacationing in Europe when they tackled Ayoub El-Khazzani, who was carrying a Kalashnikov rifle, pistol and box cutter.

He's Asian with long gang attachments and was clearly the instigator of the incident. I'm just glad to see the new Tech Sgt is doing great at Travis.

Man pleads guilty in stabbing of French train hero
Mar 10,`17) -- A California man pleaded guilty Friday to stabbing a U.S. airman who weeks earlier was hailed as a hero for helping thwart a terror attack aboard a French train.
James Tran, 29, faces a nine-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to attempted murder under a plea agreement, said Shelly Orio, a spokeswoman for the Sacramento County district attorney's office. He admitted knifing former Air Force Staff Sgt. Spencer Stone in October 2015 during a fight near a Sacramento bar. Stone is one of three Sacramento men who tackled a gunman with ties to radical Islam on a Paris-bound passenger train in August 2015. Stone left the military last November as a staff sergeant assigned to Travis Air Force Base, said Staff Sgt. Scott Taylor, a spokesman at the base near Sacramento.

Tran pleaded guilty less than a week before he was to go on trial. He also pleaded guilty to enhancements including causing great bodily injury and using a deadly weapon, Orio said. "I thought that he probably should have gotten more time but it is what it is," Stone told The Sacramento Bee. "I'm just glad this chapter of my life is over." Tran's attorney, Donald Masuda, did not return telephone and emailed messages from The Associated Press. Tran is set for sentencing May 12. Sacramento police have said Tran was the instigator in a confrontation that led to the stabbing.

James Tran, who faces charges for the alleged stabbing of Paris train hero Spencer Stone, is seen during his appearance in Sacramento Superior Court. Tran, is pleading guilty to stabbing a U.S. airman who weeks earlier was hailed as a hero for helping thwart a terror attack aboard a French train. A spokeswoman for the Sacramento County district attorney's office, says, Tran pleaded guilty to attempted murder Friday, March 10, 2017 less than a week before he was to go on trial.​

Stone was with three women and another man when an argument with Tran's group escalated into a fight that spread down a Sacramento street. Police said Tran and his group did not know who Stone was until they saw news reports later. Stone's mother, Joyce Eskel, has said that her son was stabbed four times. Doctors had to repair lacerations to his heart and liver and a collapsed lung. She also said her son was "very, very fortunate to be alive."

Eskel and Stone did not immediately return telephone messages Friday seeking comment. It was the second time that Stone was knifed within a matter of weeks. He was cut on the neck and thumb when he and two childhood friends from Sacramento stopped the attempted terror attack. Stone, Anthony Sadler and Oregon National Guardsman Alex Skarlatos were later awarded France's Legion of Honor.
