Barcelona attack: What is happening? Is it terrorism? Everything we know, explained
Twelve people have officially been confirmed dead and 80 more are injured after a van plowed through crowds in Barcelona’s Las Ramblas district in what authorities are treating as a a terror attack. That van wasn’t the only potential assault on civilians in Spain’s second largest city, either. Reports indicated that one or two armed men had also barricaded themselves inside a bar in the area after the attack, which also saw pedestrians fleeing from the streets into cafes and shops in the popular corridor of the city.
