Gunmen have reportedly stormed a five-star hotel in Cancun that is popular with American tourists.

Guests are reportedly seeking shelter at the Hyatt Ziva Riviera Cancun resort in Mexico.

The U.S. embassy in Mexico said on Thursday consulate officials were looking into social media reports of shots being fired at the hotel.

Several people said on Twitter that guests were told by staff to hide at the Hyatt Ziva Cancun hotel because of an active shooter.
