MEXICO CITY - Panicked tourists scrambled to flee the international airport in the Mexican resort of Cancun after loud sounds were believed to be gunshots.
After investigating, the Mexican National Guard said there was no evidence of any gunshots and said the bangs may have occurred after someone knocked over three freestanding vertical display stands in the terminal.
Videos posted on social media showed travelers scrambling and rushing out of a terminal. Some left their luggage behind.
Others tried ducking behind pillars before emergency personnel ordered the building cleared.
Flights were briefly suspended in the confusion.
