Obama Praises Three Americans Who Thwarted Train Attack

UPDATE 11:09 a.m.:  President Barack Obama met Thursday with the three Sacramento men who helped subdue a gunman on a French train last month.

Obama met with Spencer Stone, Alek Skarlatos, Anthony Sadler in the Oval Office this morning and commented on their heroism.

"Thinking that they were just going to have a fun reunion in Paris and ended up engaging a potential catastrophic situation and pinning down someone who clearly was intent on doing doing a lot of harm to a lot of people, inflicting terror on the French people," Obama said.

He continued, "Because of their courage, because of their quick thinking, because of their teamwork, it's fair to say that a lot of people were saved."

After his comments, the President posed for pictures with the three, but declined to answer questions from pool reporters or photographers.
