One person was killed and several others were wounded when a gunman opened fire in a coastal town of Catalonia, Spain, on Thursday, police said.

The unknown gunman barged into a bar in the town of Vilanova i la Geltru, located about 30 miles south of Barcelona, and fired several rounds at customers, according to Spanish news site La Vanguardia.

The individual then fled the scene.

A man, said to be in his 50s, died after being shot several times. Three other people were wounded, including one suffering from serious injuries, the news site said.

A spokesman with Catalonia's regional police told The Associated Press the incident was under investigation, adding that authorities had ruled out terror as a possible motive.

Incidents involving firearms are rare in Spain. Spanish law doesn't specifically prohibit people from owning guns, but makes it difficult for someone to obtain one.
