Biography
Originally retrieved from abc.com
Army National Guard Specialist Alek Skarlatos became a worldwide hero in August when he helped avert a massacre aboard a Belgian train. While on vacation after a deployment in Afghanistan, the twenty-two-year-old sprang into action when an armed attacker began shooting on the train. Alek and two of his friends, Airman First Class Spencer Stone and student Anthony Sadler, disarmed and subdued the attacker, who was armed with guns and a box cutter. The California native is an avid painter and military history buff. In between National Guard deployments, Alek studies at a local community college and plans to enter the police force.
