    And another source just confirmed 1 dead and 32 injured. It's all very confused here but fingers crossed for the second estimate.

    Exactly, yet some people are sure there are gunmen as well....

    I think most are just reporting what local, national and international news agencies are saying.

    Nothing wrong with that, surely?

    From The Guardian, as always be skeptical of all early reports:
    9m ago 18:12

    One person has been killed and 32 injured, Catalan police have just said in a news conference. Of the 32 injured, 10 are seriously injured, it was announced.

    There has been some confusion, as it typical in these situations, about the numbers of fatalities. Local broadcast media outlets are reporting that 13 have died, citing police sources. Other media including El Pais are saying there were at least 10 are dead. The above are the official figures.

    Are they all reporting that though?

    Police searching for driver who fled on foot is the last thing I read. Which until clear facts from the police are reported may not necessarily be true.

    Not a criticism but why do people feel the need to discuss this on a Charlton Athletic message board ? I'm interested to know

    One of the best things on this site is the non sports related. Don't click if you don't wanna read or discuss.
    I asked a question and you gave an answer.

    13 confirmed dead as it stands.

    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.

    Do people need to check that all news agencies around the world are reporting, word for word, the same stuff before having the temerity to post?

    Not at all. But maybe they should make sure they are sure they are correct before brazenly posting that information on a public forum? As it's been mentioned before, there's lots of misinformation during periods like this, let's not try to add to it.

    Because news agencies would never sacrifice their integrity in order to drive traffic to their site by claiming to have breaking, yet inaccurate/unverified, exclusives, would they?

    I posted the BBC article that said local media was reporting it. Never said it was true, just that it was being reported.

    Spain's national public broadcaster RTVE reports that the vehicle used to drive into dozens of pedestrians in Barcelona was rented in the city.

    I was quoting Spanish and Catalan news agencies. I dare say the police are more concerned with catching terrorists than making TV vomments so not unusually there's more rumours than hard facts.

    Police have arrested one man in connection with the attack.

    Regional police announced the arrest at the same time as dismissing earlier rumours that suggested the attacker had been holed up in a bar near Las Ramblas.

    The rumour circulated in the immediate aftermath of the attack in the heart of Barcelona's busy city centre.

    However, police have now taken to Twitter to say there are no suspects hiding in bars.

    Will never understand the wharped mindset of people that can carry out these atrocities.

    RIP to all the innocent victims

    Kindly ask that if you wish to use a social media platform to offload edgy, controversial views etc, you use another one for this. Thanks
