Cancun tourists scramble as gunmen open fire at Oasis Palm resort

Tourists at a four-star resort in Cancun were forced to run for their lives as gunmen on jet skis stormed the beach and opened fire.

The shooting Tuesday at the Oasis Palm resort is just the latest in a rash of gunplay in the region that had Mexican authorities last month deploy a 1,500-strong National Guard force.

In the latest incident, five men in military uniforms converged on the “family-friendly” resort and fired about 20 shots, according to reports.
