At least 13 people have been killed and dozens injured after a van in Barcelona ploughed into pedestrians and two men entered a restaurant with guns.
Pictures and video emerging from the scene show police cars and ambulances near the Las Ramblas, a busy tree-lined promenade in the centre of the city.
Gunfire was heard at the Corte Ingles store in the area after police announced a 'massive crash'.
Horrifying footage from the scene shows dozens of victims lying injured on the floor.
It is believed the van hit pedestrians before gunmen ran into a nearby restaurant to hold diners hostage.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing people running away and screaming after the incident happened.

This is Wolf Blitzer with breaking news.
Middle-Eastern, Arabic-speaking terrorists that according to unnamed sources are alt-right, white supremacy supporters of Donald Trump run over dozens and attack a restaurant in Barcelona.
For unbiased analysis on this story, we have the Reverend Al Sharpton...
Concealed carry would have helped that bash...oh, I forgot, this is Spain. Never mind.
New info from Fox:
2nd van located, that was intended for another attack.
What pantload. They all need to meet the rope, and soon, if we are to survive as a country and a culture.
Anyway, we know its not an accident.
La Rambla is a pedestrian area, lined with shops and restaurants. The side streets that do have car access are typical old European narrow, crowded streets. There is no way to drive through them at any rate of speed approaching La Rambla
it is simply impossible this is an accident of any kind.
Nothing wrong here that 10s of millions more stalwart Muslims in Europe won’t fix. /s
Lone wolf....Oh wait.............
Someone here from Barcelona recently told me that they have no more terror attacks in Spain because they’re not helping to fight ISIS. Is that even true? I hope no one she knows was hurt. So sad.
Mist be more running down and Antifa and BLM by Trump’s people. Nothing to see here.
Van driver neo-nazi Trump supporter?
The news these days seems to come out of a Daniel Silva novel.
They drove all the way along the pedestrian strip from the Plaza de Cataluña to La Boqueria (the market). Not even faintly accidental.
Per El Pais: Van used in Barcelona attack was rented by person named as Driss Oukabir according to Spanish Guardia Civil.
Reports that Oukabir is a Spanish citizen if Moroccan origin...
AP is confirming Oukabir of Moroccan origin....
I saw elsewhere there were armed terrorists in the van, no holding hostages.
And now in Barcelona Muslims attack again...
MSM will be back to (1) mental illness (2) acted alone (3) nothing to do with any religious beliefs or ideology (4) local muslims fear reprisals.
MSM blame game only used on conservatives.
I think its about time that they had a very serious conversation about the availability of vehicles over in Europe. The weak laws regarding their acquisition are clearly the cause of this and other similar incidents that are happening on a near weekly basis. Do the right thing, Euros. Ban them, because one time is too many.
In response Maxine Waters called for impeachment of President Trump.
