Unarmed US Marine 'in critical condition' after Kalashnikov-wielding suspected terrorist on board high-speed train between Amsterdam and Paris.
An unarmed US Marine who ambushed a Kalashnikov-wielding gunman on a train between Amsterdam and Paris is in critical condition, according to French media reports.
The serviceman, who has not been named, was one of two Americans who tackled the 26-year-old Moroccan national to the ground after hearing him load up a gun in the toilet.
In the scuffle, one of the Marines was shot and another stabbed. France Info reports one is in a critical condition.
Addressing reporters at the station in Arras, northern France, Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said: 'I would like to express our gratitude to and admiration for these two American passengers.'
He added: 'Thanks to the calm composure of the two American passengers, we have avoided a tragedy. 'Without them we would have face something terrible.'

We saved the french from speaking nothing but German twice in the last century.

>>>The suspected terrorist had at least six full magazines of ammunition holding almost 200 rounds<<<
So, he had six 30 Round Magazines which equals 180 Rounds.
Looks like they were only 10% off the mark.

"The gunman"..." "A terrorist"..."Morrocan national".
He is in police custody and that's all the Euro-weenies can report?
Come on guys...it's OK...you can say it...g'head, g'head.

Indeed. That's what I call having your head in the game. They relied on their training and KNEW the sound of an AK being being locked and loaded. Outstanding.
God bless 'em.
