149 verified dead victims and 5 gunmen taken down. FWIW.... I'm guessing most of the gunmen were French national citizens who are offspring of refugees who immigrated to Europe 20 years.
They probably spent some time training in Syria.
News reports said over 1000 French nationals went to fight in Syria and 250 are known to have returned to France in the last year.
It was a well organized attack with 7 simultaneous targets hit about the same time which stretched first responders very thin.
By the way... One first hand witness who escaped the concert said that the 2 gunmen were young... @ 20 years old.
They were also speaking in French... Fluent French.
They just stood at back of concert hall shooting into a crowd of about 1000 people. Shooting and reloading for over 15 minutes according to the witness who said he laid on the floor. When they were both reloading... He fled out the back behind the stage.
