confirm them through police or any other officials either. but that s where we stand right now. ali. one other thing sorry. i was going to say there s new death tolls. we now have 12 dead and 80 injured. that s interesting because we don t normally go backwards on the death tolls. they were reporting 13 dead and up to 50 injured. we re now pat 12 dead but a higher number of injured people. right. and if i could just explain that as well. that information also is coming from the cat loana regional president. he is saying 12 dead, 80 injured. earlier this evening, our time, we were hearing 13 dead, fieft more than 50 injured. and that information was coming from police. we ve had no update in terms of casualty figures from police yet. all of these new numbers are now coming from the cat loana regional president. thank you for that clarification. so the change in numbers is not necessarily a change. it s two different sources of

not this is confirmed through police, but this is coming from an official in barcelona. so it s possible now that a second arrest has been made. this would be in addition to the arrest about an hour, hour and a half ago now of a gentleman who police describe as a terrorist attacker, someone they were treating as a terrorist attacker. they also said at that time that there was no suspect hoeld up anywhere in barcelona. but they did not say that the manhunt was over or didn t give us any specifics on how many people total they might be looking for. to just to clarify, this information being reported by the associated press citing the cat loana regional president that a second arrest has been made and there is also some reporting in local media about a second van. again, those things not confirmed by police at this point. nbc news hasn t been able to
