The participial phrase here is seizing the weapon from the intruder. 
Participles look like verbs, and they are formed by adding -ing to the verb (for example, eating, sleeping, seizing, in this case, etc). They look the same as gerunds - however, whereas gerunds are used as nouns, participles are used as either adjectives, or adverbs. Here, the phrase is used as an adverb.

Given that the phrase is used as an adverb here, the word it modifies is ran. 
Adverbs modify verbs, meaning that they explain them in more details. Here, you can ask the question - How did he run quickly? And the answer would be - Seizing the weapon from the intruder. The phrase explains the verb.

What is a main idea that resonates across cultures?
photoshop1234 [79]
Ach culture will have its own set of belief systems and practices. Because each culture is different, the issues that resonate across cultures will be the opposing beliefs and practices. For example, religion is often an issue across cultures, because each culture is sure that their religion is the correct one, and that other cultures should follow suit. In response to these issues, arguments are developed to attempt to prove once and for all that the belief systems in a particular culture are right, while the opposing belief systems in other cultures are wrong. In the case of religion, one would try to provide evidence for Christianity, for example, while at the same time negating the importance of religions like Buddhism or Judaism.
