Authorities in Quintana Roo, Mexico, reported a shooting inside Terminal 3 of Cancun International Airport.
Reportedly, it was around 11:30 a.m. when the attack occurred, causing passengers waiting inside the facility to panic and flee. This incident prompted a massive mobilization of security forces from both the National Guard and the Secretary of Security.
