… and this cadet rose to the occasion, and is rightfully called a hero.

Separate But Related: Gurkha Thwarts 40 Armed Assailants on Train, with his khukuri (large curved Nepali blade)

Never forgot this one …

“This critical moment ignited a fierce determination within Shrestha. He resolved that he could not remain a passive observer while such a heinous act unfolded. Armed with his khukuri, the very weapon he had carried throughout his military service, he prepared to confront the criminals, despite being heavily outnumbered.”

Totally agree - the media doesn’t want to highlight the most hopeful & inspiring part - just everything about the terrorist, including his favorite color, and gushing from the university about the “awesome police response” ….

All I found beyond that was:

“Brave ROTC members in that room subdued him, and if not for them, I'm not sure what else he may have done.”

Can’t have people running around acting like heroes you know.
