at the place of las romblas where we are there were at least eight or nine ambulances waitin waiting. shepard: on the right-hand side of your screen is what we believe to be the mercedes man in question here. this is a still picture from social media. and this is the white van that came to a stop at the end of la rombla, at the end of this pedestrian area and barcelona. we also have reports of a second band that s been located about 40 miles away, we have that from authorities. i certainly don t believe the authorities are misleading in any way but in the early going it can be very difficult to get all the facts straight, even for the authorities to get them disseminated. we are sure that is the van on scene, we know they are still looking for the driver of that van, apparently the driver came to a stop at the end of la rombla, got out of the van, got
las romblas today. [bleep]. shepard: you can hear the ambulances and police sirens still racing to the scene as that video was taken shortly after the attack itself happened. the van said to have gone about
lost in the crowds, obviously on purpose. and evaded the authorities. separately we have this report of the someone holed up in a restaurant with hostages. we are very surprised that none of our affiliated stations in fact, not at all anywhere across european media are live on that scene, we have no video out of this restaurant scene. so we wander quite frankly about those reports, though they have come from law enforcement. for the moment we are going to report to you what we are hearing from law enforcement because they are certainly our best sources at this moment. new information from our research center of the map based on information from the dbc. if you could show this map, the top of the red area there to the
restaurant after restaurant, bars, hotels and such, people were barricaded in these. along this very crowded tourist area in barcelona. they were barricaded in and the authorities are now going business-to-business, hotel and restaurant, to the next to evacuate all of those people to get them away from the scene. just breaking now, this just in from associated press, the spanish public broadcaster says one suspect in the barcelona attack has now been arrested. one suspect has been arrested, taken into custody. we don t know whether that person was injured in this process but we know the person is alive. authorities will be able to question this person and find out where whether there were others involved, specifics of the motivation. we realize this is believed to be a terror attack, no question
police do not want me to go to the scene because they are looking for the attackers, shops are closed and some streets are closed. my mother and sister were in shop because police decided to close some shops, metro stations are also closed, people seem to be very scared. police are working on the scene to find the two attackers. shepard: we ve just gotten some breaking news, we ve just learned that the second van that was believed to be a part of this attack has now been located, about 40 miles away from this location. the attack happened somewhere around 5:30 local time, it is 6 minutes after 7:00 p.m. now and barcelona, authorities are reporting they found a second van that was involved in this.
