Last Thursday, a van plowed into a crowded sidewalk in Barcelona, Spain. The death toll from that attack now stands at 15. In investigating Thursday’s attack, police discovered that a house explosion on Wednesday, which had been written off as an accident, was actually another terror attack that misfired.

Now Spanish national police are reporting that a man wearing a suicide vest has been shot dead in the Barcelona suburb of Subirats:
