Why Was Hero Spencer Stone Stabbed?
Spencer Stone, who impressed the world with his courage by confronting a heavily armed terrorist on a train in France, has been stabbed on the street in Sacramento. Who would want to stab a hero like Stone? Take a guess:

The incident, which took place at 12.45am (local time) on Thursday morning, is not thought to be connected to terrorism.
