A Scots mum has told how a ‘holiday of a lifetime’ turned into a living nightmare after a man was shot in the face just yards away from their luxury resort in Mexico. Tracey Campbell and her children Chloe, 16, and Louis, 14, are now traumatised after witnessing the horrific incident while staying at the Riu Dunamar Hotel, near Cancun.
The 55-year-old claims the injured man was ‘paraded’ past horrified hotel guests with blood dripping from a large hole in his face after being blasted on the nearby Costa Mujeres beach. The mum-of-two, who was joined by pal Sandra Drummond and her daughter Darcy, 15, had hoped the holiday would bring some welcome relief after a difficult 12 months.
But their £5600 trip ended in tears with all three children haunted by the shooting on June 12. Tracey, from Rutherglen, explained: “The reason we booked the holiday was because I had just got over having a stroke and having surgery on an artery in my neck.
