than my finger, i didn't feel my other injuries. i knew i was bleeting, but i didn't know it was that bat. i saw he was squirting blood out of his neck and i was going to use my shirt, but that wouldn't have worked. i stuck two of my fingers in the hole and found what i thought to be the artery and pushed down and the bleeding stopped and i held that until the paramedics got there. >> stand and identify yourself, please. >> thank you very much. it's nancy from nbc news. spencer, alec, or anthony, can you me at what point the gunshot went off? was it during the struggle and was it a stray bullet or aimed at someone and have you digested the magnitude of the reaction to all of this for your heroic
humble. but they are truly heroes. as president obama said during his phone call with president hollande last night, these three brave americans, and the british passengers, demonstrated remarkable bravery. and acting without regard for their own safety. in order to subdue a heavily armed individual who appeared intent on causing mass casualties. when most of us would run away, spencer, alek and anthony ran into the line of fire. saying, let's go. and those words changed the fate of many. i also, of course, commend the other passengers, french and british, who displayed equal
bear with me. i'll get it to you as quick as i k.please identify yourself, state your question, direct it to one of the gentlemen, if you like or they can decide who will take it. may i have a show of hands. maggie, can we start with you. >> my question is for spencer. can you describe the sequence of events from the moment you left your seat and what prompted you to react the way that you did. >> it's kind of a long story, but i kind of just woke up from the middle of a deep sleep, and my friend antley -- alex was sitting next to me. anthony was across to my right side, and i turned around and i saw he had what looked to be an ak-47 and it looked like it was jammed and it wasn't working and he was trying to charge the weapon and alec hit me on the shoulder and said let's go. ran down and tackled him.
they were heroes. interesting to hear their accounts telling reporters in the room it was gut instinct and one of the heroes, anthony said please do something. don't just stand there and watch. that was his recommendation to anybody who finds themselves in that same situation. then you heard spencer stone saying this felt like a dream and it was unreal and i think anthony sadler said it seemed like something out of a movie. it certainly was but this one had a very, very good ending. let's turn now to i believe we have paul kirk shank, nick robertson first standing by. you just heard that press conference in paris. what grabbed you? they were very humble in taking this praise from the french people. it was quite extraordinary. >> sure. and certainly there has been a

we know each other, they are so humble. but they are truly heroes. as president obama said in his phone call with president hollande last night, these three brave young americans along with the french and british passenger demonstrated remarkable bravery and acted without regard for their own safety to subdue a heavily armed individual who appeared intent on causing mass casualties. when most of us would run away, spencer, alec, and anthony ran into the line of fire. saying let's go. those words changed the fate of many. i also of course comment the other passengers, french and british who displayed equal

he's back. former congressman anthony weiner will indeed enter the race for new york city mayor. his first campaign ad is out today. >> look, i made some big mistakes, i know i let a lot of people down, but i've also learned some tough lessons. i'm running for mayor, because i've been fighting for the middle class my entire life. >> i asked you, howard, you've four minutes to sanitize your answer. does he stand a chance? >> when anthony ran in 2005, he started out nowhere. now knew where he was. he ran a smart, aggressive race. he was everywhere. i literally bumped into him several times on a weekend because he was campaigning so hard, he was getting up at 4:00, staying out until midnight รง campaigning.
doing. >> i didn't even -- other than my finger i didn't really feel any of my other injuries. i knew i was bleeding, but i didn't know they were that bad. i went over and saw he was squirting blood out of the left or right side of his neck and i was going to use my shirt at first and realized that wouldn't work and i stuck two of my fingers in the hole and found what i thought to be the artery and pushed down and the bleeding stopped so i just said thank god and held that position until the paramedics got there. >> amazing. >> next question, please. don't be shy, please. yes, ma'am, and identify yourself, please. >> thank you very much. hello. nbc news. this is for alek and anthony, can you tell me at what point was the gunshot went off. was it during the struggle, and was it a stray bullet or was it specifically aimed at someone, and have you sort of digested the magnitude of the reaction to all of this through your heroic action?
