Avon Police Officer Jason Falconer, who took out a terrorist at a Minnesota mall last September, says he is not a hero. Ten victims suffered stab wounds before Jason Falconer stepped in. Surveillance video captured a crazed man wearing a security guard uniform on the attack and stabbing people at random. Falconer recalled what happened at the Crossroads Center Mall in St. Cloud, Minn., when the madman approached him. "I don't think I'm a hero," he told Inside Edition as he spoke about the incident for the first time.
