Beware of my temper, and the dog that I've found...
We are now back on topic. Thank you.
Apparently, another passenger bumped into the terrorist as he was coming out of the lavatory, and made a grab for the pistol, which then went off. I'm guessing maybe it didn't cycle correctly?
Once one of the Americans got hold of the AK, he said it had already jammed, though how that happened wasn't specified. Such might turn into a teachable moment at the next ECQC class.

Maybe we can make an app?PARIS — Two days after a young Moroccan man was thwarted from an apparent plan to cause carnage on a Paris-bound express train, European officials confronted the deepening quandary of what additional steps they could take in the face of such attacks on soft targets, short of paralyzing public spaces or even more intrusive surveillance.
