(AP) — Sacramento State senior Anthony Sadler, one of the three Americans who helped stop a terror attack on a high-speed train traveling from Amsterdam to Paris, arrived in Sacramento Tuesday night.

KCRA-TV showed Anthony Sadler walking off a commercial plane at Sacramento International Airport, accompanied by his parents.

Sadler was dressed in black shorts and a gray sweatshirt and was carrying a black backpack as the family was escorted onto the tarmac instead of using the bridge to the terminal like other passengers.

Another American, U.S. Air Force Airman Spencer Stone, is undergoing treatment at a military hospital in Germany for injuries suffered in the attack. The third man, Oregon National Guardsman Alek Skarlatos, is with Stone in Germany.
