The serviceman, who has not been named, was one of two Americans who tackled the 26-year-old Moroccan national to the ground after hearing him load up a gun in the toilet.

Prayers up for Our Marines.

Ping!

-— after hearing him load up a gun in the toilet. -—

I’m sure they recognized the sound, but it’s still pretty impressive that they took it seriously. It’s normal to say to yourself, “Nah, it can’t be.”

And then they were brave enough to face an armed man, unarmed.

Great men.
