AK-47?
Yes.
Deadly AK-47?
Is there any other kind?

Falsified story. The perps real name is Tracy Attaway. He was left pretty much unmarked. The Marines did clothesline him, but other than that just held him for the police.

The man was armed with a deadly a Kalashnikov AK-47 assault rifle. Last time I checked just about every firearm in the world was deadly.
Sheesh.

Probably was only 2. The 3rd was taking selfies to sent to their buddies back at the base.

The Washington Compost has picked up the story, posted here on a thread that was just closed as a duplicate:

But for some reason they forgot to mention that the Americans who took down the terrorist were Marines. I wonder why?

"Deadly AK-47? Is there any other kind?"Yes, an unloaded one; then it's just an oddly-shaped club.

The SOB had nine full magazines for the AK-47.
The Marines prevented a massacre.
