Two days ago Gunmen arrive by jet ski at popular Cancún beach, fire their weapons, and disappeared without killing or hurting anyone.
The armed men attacked Playa Langosta in Cancun in the resort city’s hotel zone on three jet skis before opening fire. Some 20 shots were fired, according to witness accounts.
The gunmen escaped by water but their jet skis were later found and seized by authorities. According to a report by the news website Expansión Política, the aggressors were targeting two people on the beach, and the issue was not terror-related. Foreign tourists were most likely not the target of this attack.
Local social media reports indicate this was a drug-related dispute among dealers.
