Reports Of Gunshots At Cancun Airport Trigger Stampede
A shooter reportedly opened fire at Cancun International Airport, causing instant chaos as tourists and spring-breakers ran for their lives.
Local news El Demócrata said the State Secretary of Public Security (SSPS) “received reports of gunshots inside Terminal 3 of the Cancun International Airport.” The agency said, “However, there have been no reports of injured people or fired cartridges at the site.”
SSPS head Lucio Hernández Gutiérrez said there were reports of gunshots at the airport. He added: “at the moment, there are no injuries, percussion cartridges, or further indications that confirm the fact.”
Even though there are no confirmed reports of a shooting, people still panicked, causing a massive stampede.

This can’t be good for tourism. Mexico is already descending into chaos as drug cartels shoot up popular beach towns.
