3 fatalities reported, a passerby, a female suicide bomber and one terrorist shot by a police sniper.
(I noticed the sniper rifle Friday evening, along with the Beretta M12 sub machine guns favoured by French Police. Also notice, police use of modified Ruger Mini 14s which seem to have burst and full automatic capability. French military — present in the outer cordon — use the FAMAS assault rifle which uses the usual NATO 5.56 x 45 mm round.. FYI an Assault Rifle, following Hitler’s name for the MP44, is a select fire, reduced power round rifle that is more controllable on full auto, fires a more powerful round than the typical 9 mm parabellum used by most SMGs, and outranges the SMG to 300 – 500 m, whilst a full power round has nominal effective range out to 800 m, as with the classic SMLE Lee Enfield and similar WWI era rifles. The great majority of military engagements are within 300 m. Where, “Assault Weapon” is a political label now used in laws, but which is ill defined in terms of actual tactically relevant technical weapons characteristics.)
It looks like 5 – 7 suspects were holed up in a cordoned off Apartment about a mile from the National Stadium. END
