Alex Skarlatos was born in Roseburg. He and two buddies, Spencer Stone and Anthony Sadler, were on a train from Belgium to Paris. Alex heard breaking glass and what sounded like gunfire. He turned around and saw a jihadist terrorist with an AK-47 in his hand. Alex yelled out, “Get him!” The three friends jumped into action. Stone rushed the gunman, grabbing him. The jihadist pulled out a box-cutter and began slashing. Alex and Anthony punched, shoved, and wrestled the terrorist to the ground disarming him. Alex went from car to car, asking if everyone was safe and searching for any more terrorists. These three American heroes charged into danger and stopped a massacre.
