While on the train to Paris…

Shall we lay odds on the religious persuasion of the gunman? Fox News:

Three people were injured– one critically– on Friday when a gunman armed with an AK-47 and knife opened fire on a high-speed train that originated in Amsterdam and was headed to Paris.

The suspected gunman was overpowered by off-duty U.S. soldiers when the train stopped in the northern French city of Arras, La Voix du Nord reported. He was later arrested.

The victims were identified as an American, a Briton and a Frenchman. Earlier reports said two American service members were among the injured.

  1. Information coming in says that the ‘gunman’ was “Moroccan” (a “Moroccan national”, i.e not possessing Dutch or French citizenship), and that the guys who took him down and prevented a bloodbath were not simply “American servicemen” but…US Marines.
