Mark Moogalian, who is reportedly a 51-year-old academic originally from Midlothian, Virginia, spotted a suspicious passenger while traveling on the Amsterdam to Paris train Friday.


...said her husband spotted the gunman "being grabbed from behind by a different person" — thought to be a 29-year-old French banker who has chosen to stay anonymous.

...

Mark Moogalian told his wife to "go" and then "rushed towards the gunman to remove ... the Kalashnikov."

She added: "I did not see my husband get shot, it happened too quickly and I was pretty much hiding behind seats. But I look at my husband through the seats at an angle and he looked straight at me and said, 'I'm hit!' ... There was blood everywhere. I ran towards him and I could see that he a wound on his back, I then saw another wound by his neck."


...

She credited Spencer Stone, a 23-year-old U.S. airman who had been traveling through Europe with two friends, for saving the life of the professor of English.

"He put his finger on my husband's neck wound to stop the hemorrhaging continuing and he stayed in this position during the whole voyage," she told Europe1.

The comments of one of the shopkeepers in the area of the stabbing:

“We don’t get a lot of stabbings, but we get a lot of assaults, you know, drunk, stupid people,” Kearns said. “It’s been getting worse.”

Yep, that about says it all.
