Two or three men firing guns into the air on jet skis set ashore on the beach at the hotel zone of Cancun, where Senator Ted Cruz (R-Quintana Roo) enjoys spending periods of disaster in Texas, sending hundreds of tourists scattering for safety, NBC News reports.
Lucio Hernández Gutiérrez, the chief of police of the coastal state of Quintana Roo, said men on two jet skis rode onto the beach firing handguns into the air. No one was reported injured, and the police confiscated the jet skis.
“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,” Rick Lebassa, a tourist from Maine, said. “I did not see any shots coming in toward the shoreline.”
