train? were people screaming? and were any of the conductors or anyone in the train helping you or was it just basically the three of you and the brit and there was another unidentified a man named damion, i think. well, the unidentified man, he actually did a lot more at the beginning. apparently we talked to him right after it happened. and he told us that was waiting for the bathroom and when the guy came out with the ak, they just stared at each other for a few seconds and he started to choke him. and apparently a train employee, i don t know if it was the same one that ran past me or not. a train employee came and broke them up thinking it was a regular fight. and then when he broke them up, that s when he came into our cabin and shot mark in the neck. that s when we noticed him. by the way, how is mark, do you know? i talked to him right before we left france, and he seemed to be doing great. he was going into surgery.
train employee ran past us at a full sprint. going towards the noise or away. away from the noise to the front of the train. you guys went towards it. he went way? well, yeah. i mean at that point spencer woke up. and we both looked behind us and saw a guy entering our car with an ak 47 looking like he was trying to work the action or something like that. so we both ducked down immediately. and i just told spencer let s go, go get him. and spencer was the first one up. i got up about two or three seconds behind spencer, because i actually didn t even know he left until i saw him running in front of me. i m like oh, i better get going. so, spencer got to him first, tackled the guy. i guess he dropped his ak 47 around that time and it s all kind of a blink. and we beat up on him a little bit. anthony got some blows in for sure. spencer got the choke in on the guy. then he pulled out a
