Is this an IS terror attack or is this from Barcelona citizens because they don't want tourists anymore? It was on the news a few dags ago that Barcelona citizens don't want tourists in their city anymore.

So sad to read about attacks like this in this short amount of time. Sadly, there is nothing we can really do about it. So live your life to the fullest, stay safe and kind to people around you and love each other <3

@Hannah @Entea @Hermione @#Music I'm okay guys. I was supposed to meet a friend in Las Ramblas at 5 PM (a few minutes before the accident happened), but at the very last minute we decided to go to a shopping centre that they also wanted to attack. It's been a crazy afternoon and I arrived home a few minutes ago because the city is almost paralyzed.

 

My entire family and all my friends are okay too, and I'm just glad the day is over.
