Gunmen on Jet Skis Show Up at Cancun Resort Beach, Fire Shots, Police Say

[marmar]

Gunfire broke out on a beach in Mexico’s Caribbean coast resort of Cancun Tuesday, sending tourists scrambling for cover, but authorities said nobody appeared to be injured.

Lucio Hernández Gutiérrez, the chief of police of the coastal state of Quintana Roo, said the attackers apparently pulled up to the beach on jet skis and opened fire at a beach in Cancun’s hotel zone. Hernández Gutiérrez said the jet skis had been found and seized.

1. Hmm...A Smart-Ass Young Jet Ski Rider at One Minnesota

lake was harassing a fisherman by buzzing his boat again and again. Not very bright. The fisherman was angling for Muskies. Finally annoyed beyond his tolerance, he cast a large Muskie lure, armed with three large treble hooks, at the jet ski as it buzzed him. The lure connected with the smart-ass kid, who went into the water. The fisherman cut his line, fired up his boat, and left the lake, after seeing that the jet boat rider was swimming toward the jet ski. No arrest was ever made.

I do not condone such actions. I do suspect, though, that the kid never did that again.
