Apparently, they were fired upon while taking pictures of an underwater church. The husband was immediately hit in the head and the pirates missed the wife. The wife then gunned her jetski back to the U.S. side (yes, they were on the Mexican side of the lake when this happened). There are eyewitness third party accounts of the wife being pursued back to the U.S. side by a boat, but the boat broke off contact when she reached the shore.hangfour wrote:I don't know but this whole incident seems a bit 'fishy' to me. Given that my primary strategy for dealing with assault is to escape, I can't imagine that one could not evade 'pirates' on a jet ski. I wonder what the real story might be.
So, if they were stationary with their attention on taking pictures of the underwater church, and were fired upon while doing so before realizing there was any danger to escape from, it sounds plausible to me.
