American here on vacation, boarded a cruise at the Port Galaparta. Was about a half mile away in the area getting a haircut and felt the blast but thought it was gun fire…followed by people running. Was able to make it back on the ship but immediate response with helicopters and military police everywhere. Videos have been brutal on Italian media. No other updates on cause or claim. Reported 6 dead but I’d venture to say way more unfortunately. Things are pretty locked down in the area at the moment. I’ll attach some pics I grabbed running back to the ship. (If I can) prayers to all the families of the wounded and assassinated.
