They didn't say, of course, but whataya think? Another one of those "lone wolf" Mormons we've been hearing so much about, maybe?

The DM story has been updated:

$1:

The 26-year-old Moroccan national, who was known to security services, came out of the toilet brandishing the gun and opened fire. Fortunately, three US Marines were nearby and overpowered him before he could massacre passengers.

The suspected terrorist had at least six full magazines of ammunition holding almost 200 rounds. He was also carrying a knife.

Bravo to those men who stepped up and didn't cower in fear like many would have.

Unfortunately Bart, your country and mine are slowly turning into countries where many of the "men" are whiny little pissants who are afraid to step up and do the right thing because they might get hurt or in trouble.

True.

The war on masculinity has gone well for the progholes, hasn't it?

Lets hope he suffered injuries akin to falling off a curb.

Just read on another site that 2 troops were wounded, one with a gunshot wound and the other with a knife wound.

[Zipperfish]

Well done. Hope the wounded pull though.

The weapons he had this could have been beyond tragic.

Just the extra benefits of having wide open borders.

$1:

The gunman was taken into custody by French police at a train station in Arras. He is in custody in hospital
French media report the man denies being a terrorist and instead claims he wanted to carry out an armed robbery
Also claims he wanted to ransom off passengers and he found the weapons in a bag 'by chance in a Brussels Park'

He said: 'He was just telling us to give back his gun. "Give me back my gun! Give me back my gun!" But we just carried on beating him up and immobilised him and that was it.'


Video footage of the aftermath has emerged, showing what appears to be the gunman lying on the floor, moaning with pain, with his hands and feet tied up with t-shirts after he was beaten unconscious.

Better than that. The video is there too, jihadi all hog tied, moaning in pain.
