Tourists were sent scrambling for cover Tuesday after five gunmen dressed like soldiers arrived on jet skis at a beach just steps away from a family-friendly Mexican resort in Cancun and opened fire.
The attackers pulled up to the beach outside the four-star Oasis Palm hotel on jet skis and began shooting in Cancun’s hotel zone on Tuesday, Lucio Hernández Gutiérrez, the chief of police of the coastal state of Quintana Roo, said.
Quintana Roo State Attorney General Óscar Montes de Oca has revealed that there were five suspects who fired shots in the air without aiming their weapons at anyone.
