authorship, and allegiance, to any particular group. that s going on right now in the u.s. intelligence community and the fbi. looking for anything that could help better understand what exactly happened. stand by for a moment. i want to bring in an eyewitness. works as a restaurant. what? about 65 feet or so from where this attack took place. tell us where you are right now, what you re seeing? i understand the local police have homed you up. tell us what s going on. caller: well, we are closer to police, four hours ago. we have 20 person here, scared, and some from come running from the street, and we know what we can do and we know the terrorists have a harostage in another bar close to here. we try to go out and no way. we scared and we know lots of dead persons and a lot of
assault, and that they may have actually entered a restaurant or a bar in the area. what can you tell us about that? if you know anything than at all. caller: yeah. i just some reports here on the radio station where i work telling us there was a person, a van that was crashed just in front of the market where the attack has occurred and another van that hasn t been located and the police were saying that through, like, the social media. on police official twitter saying there was another van that was, they are in search of. so that s why the catalonian police was telling everything on the street, on catalonian square and also all, through us a of ramblas to get inside. because when i saw also was armed police men like searching and going through these narrow streets, which cross the ramblas saying to people, get inside, so
clear by the police. the local media is reporting some of this based on their own local sources. it s interesting, art, we don t know, no group has claimed responsibility for what clearly has been a major terror attack right in the beautiful tourist area of barcelona. right now, the local police say once again, one person confirmed dead, 32 people injured. they expect the number of deaths to go up because several of those people are in very critical condition right now. it does make a difference whether this attack was inspired by a terror group, let s say isis, or if it was organized, right? explain the difference, and what it means for counterterror authorities. i mean, when you look at the aspect of how this was put together, i mean, this, again, i mean, we ve heard a lot of people talk about it, was a pretty simple incident when you think about the vehicle being
these reports still worrying that this is not over, in that two men are thought to be armed had gone into either a restaurant or a bar and barricaded themselves inside. still trying to get clarity on that situation of what is happening with those two men. there were reports in local media of hearing shots fired. we don t know how many people, if any, were in that restaurant or bar, and at the moment, police are trying to get clarity on exactly what is going on and the status of that standoff, wolf. you know, michael, hold on for a moment. we have someone who was an eyewitness to the afterfamath o this attack joining us on the phone. thanks very much for joining us. first of all, where were you and what did you see? caller: i was just on catalonian square. at the top of the ramblas,
working next to here and just on the street, and what i saw is, like, unreasonable everything is now with, no people. police is, like, closing all the area. it s everything full of police and nobody there and the police is, like, restraining all the area, because no one can access there, wah they were saying just, when i was going through my, to the office, the police were saying that, go away. there s, like, an armed man. run away, because you cannot be here and all the people was, like, going inside the hotels, all the shop, shut everything down. and so what i saw is like people running through all directions and police saying, shut down or get away because there is an armed man here. so you have to run away or get inside somewhere. there s conflicting reports, john, whether or not there was one or two individuals involved in this car ramming in this
