A Scots family have been left traumatised after a man was shot in face at the poolside of their holiday resort.
Katrina Butler and her husband Bryan, from Cambuslang, took their three sons away to Cancun in Mexico for the "trip of a lifetime" - but the holiday soon turned into a living nightmare.
Just three days into the trip, which was booked to celebrate the couple's 50th birthdays, the family witnessed a horrific attack when a man was 'shot dead' at the poolside of their five-star resort.
Holidaymakers were allegedly 'just yards away' from the incident. Katrina and Bryan had decided to cool off in the water when they heard gunshots ring out.
The mum-of-three told Glasgow Live : "As I was waist high in the water I heard the gunfire. It immediately stopped me in my tracks and my husband, who was further up the pool by this point, shouted 'get down and take cover'. My immediate thought was of my children.
"All I heard was screaming, people running and looking for their children. I didn't know if my kids were dead or alive at this point because I couldn't see them. There were six gunshots in total, three of which hit the man's face."
The victim's body lay next to the pool where children had been playing just moments before he was shot. It is believed that the man was of Mexican origin and the attack was "gang" related.
Katrina's eldest boy, 18, came "running" towards his mum, while her husband made his way to their sun loungers to find their younger sons before the family raced towards the hotel lobby.
Katrina said: "The hotel is all glass so, all I could think of was, if he starts shooting towards us all of this glass is going to come in on us. The staff told us to go to our rooms, stay in our room and lock the door."

admitted to The Guardian. “We’re not doing any national themes this year.”The “GBBO” — known as Collection 10 on Netflix and titled “The Great British Baking Show” in the US due to copyright issues involving Pillsbury — had included one national-themed week per season the past three years.Though there was criticism following the show’s “Japan Week” in 2020 and “German Week” in 2021, fans revolted against last year’s “Mexican Week.” Hosts Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas — both white Brits — were slammed for donning sombreros and maracas and mispronouncing Spanish words.The episodes saw contestants make tacos, which some viewers described as butchering the famous dish, while others complaining that the show was deviating from its baking premise toward cooking.In an effort to hit two birds with one stone, “GBBO” creators will replace the culturally insensitive nationality week with a Party Cakes challenge, according to Smith.
