Two US Marine overpowers Gunman in France train.

  
A high speed train travelling from Amsterdam to Paris is believed was attacked by a Gun man who was believed to be a terrorist.
As the gunman on an Amsterdam-to-Paris train was about to launch an attack by loading his Kalashnikov he was surprised by two U.S. Marines in civilian clothing, a senior European counterterrorism official told CNN.
The gunman fired on them with a handgun, the official said. He wounded at least one of them, but was overpowered.
The suspect had several weapons and lots of ammunition, the official said, saying the Marines prevented a massacre.
The attack injured three people on the high-speed train traveling from Amsterdam to Paris was carried out by a gunman, a Moroccan national, was on the radar screen of European counterterrorism agencies for his radical jihadist views, the official said.
A second security source told CNN the gunman was known by French intelligence. The official said it appeared the gunman was sympathetic to ISIS, but a full determination on his specific loyalties had yet to be reached.
The suspect was arrested, but his identity and motive are not known yet, Cazeneuve said during a press conference at the train station in Arras, a city about 115 miles (185 kilometers) north of Paris where the train was rerouted.
Calling the attack "an attack of barbaric violence," Cazeneuve said the anti-terrorism prosecutor's office in Paris will investigate to determine whether this was an act of terrorism.
Cazeneuve said two Americans helped "neutralize" the attacker. He expressed "gratitude and admiration" for their help.
Two people were hospitalized with serious injuries but their lives are not in danger, said Anthony Blondeau, spokesman for the city of Arras.
One of them was an American, Cazeneuve said. It's not known whether he or she helped subdue the suspect.
The third person injured was French actor Jean-Hugues Anglade, who has a light hand injury, Blondeau said.
Christophe Piednoel, spokesman from the French railway company SNCF, said the suspect carried an automatic weapon and a bladed weapon.
