If I read the report correctly, the eight who were killed were already gassed. Three died and four injured but they only arrested one. So how many were there altogether?

8 Were killed in one attack. In another attack, 3 were killed, and 4 were injured. Assuming that the person who was arrested was one of the 4 injured, that makes... 8+(3+4)=8+7=15. At least 15 people involved.
