Two Marine veterans played a key role in stopping a man who allegedly stabbed multiple victims in a Michigan Walmart. Matthew Kolakwoski had just left a checkout lane when he heard a worker scream that a man had a knife. He then heard a “mass of blood-curling screams from the back of the store,” mlive.com reported.

I am just like any other member of the community. I wasn’t looking to be heroic. I just wanted to help my neighbors,” said one of the Marine veterans who intervened.
