Spain shooting leaves 1 dead, several wounded, police say

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.
