Was this reported already and taken down or something?

It's been on the news for well over an hour.

The info on this is still sketchy. My phone had 2 deaths and multiple injuries as the news headline when an alert broke in saying there was now 13 dead. My sons' phone showed an alert stating it was 2 vans and that a gunfire battle is underway.

Mine doesn't show his news alert info, his doesn't show my news alert info. I think we're just going to have to give it 24 hours to know exactly what happened. Peace and positive vibes to all those in the midst of this nightmare.

@SahmIam

CNN and MSNBC report one dead, FOX reporting 13 dead. None I have seen are reporting two vans, but they are reporting two men were in the van, supposedly one was captured.

I'm watching Fox not seeing them say 13 dead. I got news alerts saying 1 dead.

@Lali1

I just double checked, FOX reported 13 dead two hours ago. It's still up on google news if you want to check.

However, we all know there are many errors with first reports.

Something reported 2 hours ago is not reliable. It's what they're saying now that matters.

Might be too soon to know exactly what has happened. And as most have said, just change the channel and the facts are different. In any case what a horrible situation. What a world we live in! Prayers to those who were in Barcelona and had to witness this or be hurt by it.

I did just see the headline 13 dead and 50 others hurt. Did not see that until just now. I saw a lot of people down but they're also saying there was a stampede.

Not really, it usually takes at least a day to settle down, and all are saying the death count will climb, so "now" will change.

I'm just catching up to this. Both CNN and MSNBC have banners that per a gov't source 13 are dead and 50 injured. Fox is also indicating there may have been a shoot out with police. Goodness what an angry world we live in right now. Prayers to those in Barcelona . . .

Oh goodness CNN is reporting a getaway vehicle ran over two policeman their conditions are not known at this time.

ISIS claiming responsibility for attack but without evidence such as knowing names of the terrorists.

Some experts in attacks thinking it's a cell not a loner.

@Noel7 and everyone else:

This is exactly why I wait 24 hours before making a judgment/offering an opinion, etc. All that said, I still wish peace and positive vibes on all hurt in any way by this horror.

@Noel7 No, not really. The responsible ones do, but others...... not so much. I often don't click on threads regarding breaking news for that reason. The few I trust TO post and stick to the facts; those I click on instead of waiting.

@SahmIam

I'm sticking with what I said. People like @momtochloe and many others including myself will report what is being reported but not claim it as fact, we know better and have for a long time.

No one is asked to take reports as gospel but conversation is encouraged.

Really, you are not the only one who knows better than to accept early reporting as the last word.
