Tourists flee for cover after gunmen jet skied up to Mexican beach and opened fire

The beach was located in Cancun, Mexico. The incident occurred in an area that tourists frequent with many hotels nearby. Officials have told the media that no injuries or deaths occurred as a result of this incident.

The jet skis, however, have been located and seized by the local police force. Witnesses said there were three gunmen who shot their pistols into the air.

"There were two guys and maybe even a third, who came in on jet skis, and what I saw was them shooting up into the sky," said one tourist.

"I did not see any shots coming in toward the shoreline," he added. "I'm not overly concerned because this is the first time ever. "We've been coming down for 31 years and we've never had any issues."

Tourists described having to lie down on the floor. Others said that they thought it was a part of an event.

"There was a delayed reaction for about maybe five seconds, then everybody started scrambling and screaming and crying, and running," another tourist added.
