Thanks everyone for the updates. Sending positive thoughts to all affected. Can you imagine, one minute you're just walking, shopping, then suddenly...

Hard to find the right words right now.

Paris, London, Barcelona...they're all using the same "recipe book".

Considering this is a touristy location I expect we will see victims for various countries likely also. part of the terrorists' intentions, moo.

These car attacks are so horrific. It reminds me that the terrorist attack this weekend in Charlottesville could have been much worse. My heart goes out to the victims and their loved ones. [emoji22]

The graphic images are so reminiscent of the Boston Marathon.
Oh, no! I haven't looked yet. This is devastating!

Police would have arrested one of the perpetrators of the Barcelona attack

Why this news would come all the way from Nicaragua, I do not know, but I hope they got it right.

Yes and possibly even victims from their own home country with their same faith could have been killed.

The terrorists are sick and twisted people who do not care about anyone.

Saw some graphic aftermath videos on Twitter. Horrifying. Saw a baby/toddler. Saw empty strollers. I am sickened. :( I fear how the death toll will be higher than 13 and at least a few will be children.

One of my adult children's friends was on Las Ramblas when this occurred

She said she was caught in 2 stampedes

She is holed up in a pharmacy with others, but is ok

Thats good news if they arrested someone alive. It may help stop future terrorist attacks if they can get information out of him.

OMG how horrible! Let her stay where she is, Police wants people to remain inside until the Police tells them that they can leave.

Glad their friend is ok.

Im hearing reports on TV of shots fired so i think some action is still taking place. Trying to confirm the reports now.

This is similar to what I just heard on TV about shots being fired. I think they were referring to this incident.

This is quite a common tactic during these attacks - they do the first attack and then let the emergency services arrive. Then they do another attack somewhere different, or attack the emergency services who are trying to help the victims.
