And while eyewitnesses told us they saw one shooter, this morning, the commissioner told us there were two gunmen. Here's how the Compol put it:
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"What led to the incident in front of Jaguars, there was a member of one of the groups in San Pedro at the Jaguar Night Club. I guess he was purchasing food and I apparently one of the rival groups may have seen him there and came for him. From what we gathered is that while they were shooting at him, the tourist was on a golf cart and was in the direct line of firing. And unfortunately, she was caught. Now that should not bring any comfort to the family or to us, the fact is it's a life lost, and the life of someone who was here visiting our country and that makes it even worse for us."
"From the statements we obtained from witnesses, there were three suspects. Two had weapons."
Reporter
"So two people fired guns?"
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"Yes. And the two that fired guns are the ones we have win custody who have been charged."
Reporter
"Ok, and so there was an escape boat?"
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"Yes."
Jules Vasquez
"Are you able to state specifically how many rounds were fired and did they use an assault rifle?"
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"I'm not going to say the amount of rounds fired, but yes an assault rifle was used and from what we gathered was that the shooters came from along the beach and they had those dive bags that divers would normally use that have the dive equipment and they walk into the park and when they saw the person of interest, they put the bag down, open it, took out the firearms and open fire towards them."
