According to media reports, one is in critical condition after the terrorist slashed one with a knife and shot the other.
I don’t know French but this dude he’s the president of something or other, so why not?

Seems legit.
I’ll try to confirm this info as soon as possible.
UPDATE: CONFIRMED.
Apparently this was an interview taken right after the attack. There is a third American serviceman who was taken to the hospital. They are holding up medals of bravery that were given to them by a French mayor. Pretty remarkable.
