    I'm safe, you can all stop worrying

    In all seriousness, this kind of thing is appalling and we must stand together against evil! *400-post thread in which nothing is resolved*

    It was in the Las Ramblas area.

    Fingers crossed there's no fatalities.
  • cafctomcafctom
    Reports that 2 people have been confirmed dead and two armed gunmen have entered a restaurant
  • rinarina
    police have already declared it a terrorist attack

    Quelle surprise.
  • cafcfan1990cafcfan1990
    Seems early to call it a terrorist attack, as obvious as it seems

    Confirmed. Also two gummen entered a restaurant in city centre.

    BBC doesn't seem to mention armed gunmen

    Seen a video on Twitter of probably 20+ people laying on the floor injured. One woman looks to have a stomach wound which to me looks like a gun shot. Absolutely sickening . This world is getting worse by the day

    Not sure about that, i'd rather live in these times than back in medievil times for sure.

    Sorry wasn't aware of gunman as it wasn't on BBC at the time

    I'm not so sure, back then I could take my family and fuck off to somewhere in the middle of nowhere, build a house, live off my own crops and every now and then visit a marketplace to trade for some meat and treats.

    Terrible news! World is getting worse! RIP to the 2 poor people confirmed to have passed away! Sickening
  • se9addickse9addick
    Just crazy - sick of typing this but RIP to the victims (again).

    Please say the babies from the buggies in one of the videos on Twitter will survive. Two of them, completely innocent of any evil...

    I can't fucking begin to understand the killing of children and babies by these morons.

    I still can't see anything on BBC about gunmen - hope this means there aren't any

    I expect there probably is not. It does tend to happen that there are always more gunmen or bombs reported in these unfortunate situations, however fortunately mainly its just misinformation due to social media.

    They've barricaded themselves inside a bar.

    Not a criticism but why do people feel the need to discuss this on a Charlton Athletic message board ? I'm interested to know
  • ken_shabbyken_shabby
    13 confirmed dead as it stands.
  • LeuthLeuth
    Also, when loads of people get murdered in a nearby country it's kind of a big deal

    Not worth talking about. All you're doing is fanning the flames and keeping 'our' (whatever that's supposed to mean) end of the bargain.

    Best to ignore it and hope it goes away.

    I live just up the coast (I drove back from the UK today) and it's all over the news as you'd expect. Reports confirming the wankers who did this hired two vans, one to kill people, and another to get away in. The police have just found the second van in a place called Vic.
  • ken_shabbyken_shabby
    As yet officials are refusing to confirm or deny there are children among the dead, which sadly doesn't sound very good. Ramblas area is being closed off and reports say two gunmen are holed up in a Turkish restaurant.
  • ken_shabbyken_shabby
    And another source just confirmed 1 dead and 32 injured. It's all very confused here but fingers crossed for the second estimate.

    Barcelona is my favourite European city. I love Las Ramblas. :(
