Subdeacon Joe Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 The newest report is saying it was an Army National Guardsman and an Airman. And a civilian. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34023361 ADDED: Be sure to watch the interview with the father of one of the men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I am not familiar with the AK 47, so I ask. How did he get it on the train in the first place? Perhaps as a take down in his pack and he re assembled it in the toilet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps as a take down in his pack and he re assembled it in the toilet? Looks like he had a short model. Maybe a Krinkov or Zastava. Easily concealed in a backpack.

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Any late reports on the Airman and how he is doing. Shot in the neck does not sound like a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artie Fly, SASS #25397 Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 My mistake to repeat the first reporting, but still proud of our servicemen who responded. Heroes all. The airman apparently suffered a bad hand injury, it was a civilian that was cut badly in the neck.

Sedalia Dave Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Any late reports on the Airman and how he is doing. Shot in the neck does not sound like a lot of fun. Stars and Stripes reports that he is stable and his injuries are not life threatening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel-eye Steve SASS #40674 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Looks like he had a short model. Maybe a Krinkov or Zastava. Easily concealed in a backpack. The magazines I saw were 7.62x39 so most likely a Zastava M92. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
