THREE people have died and ten injured in a mass shooting “unlike anything we’ve ever seen” on a British paradise island.

The horror incident unfolded at a popular nightspot in the Turks and Caicos Islands in what authorities called the British territory’s first mass shooting in recent history.

Three young men were killed and 10 others injured in the heinous shooting.

At least four suspects were involved in the incident early Sunday on the island of Providenciales, but no one has been arrested, Police Commissioner Fitz Bailey said, also calling it “deeply disturbing”.

Acting Gov. Anya Williams said the hospital in Providenciales was on lockdown to protect those being treated for their injuries.

She said at least two of those injured were flown overseas for further treatment.

And Premier Charles Washington Misick said how the island is “now having a gangland-type slaying,” adding that “a lot of this gang violence seems to be concentrated in our Haitan communities”.

He called on the Haitian community to cooperate with cops, saying some of them know how guns are being smuggled into the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Misick added: “What is happening here is unlike anything we’ve ever seen before.

“This is not a situation we should accept.”

An estimated 10,900 Haitians live in the Turks and Caicos Islands, representing a third of the territory’s population.

Around 80 per cent of Haitians live in Providenciales, and 20 per cent have permanent residency, according to the UN.

Meanwhile, a few months ago a family hid in terror as they watched a man gunned down and killed at the poolside on their dream holiday  in Costa Mujeres, Mexico.

Across the first couple of days, Colin noticed some “sketchy” characters roaming the complex, offering illegal drugs and vapes.

Colin told The Sun: “It’s a relatively new complex, it’s supposed to be one of the best ones you can go to in Mexico with TUI.

“It was a nice first few days but there were some sketchy characters offering people drugs and vapes, which are illegal in Mexico, but they didn’t have hotel wristbands on so we were cautious of them.

“They were interacting with my daughter which I didn’t like, and demanding services from the staff like free drinks and food.

“But the staff were friendly with them it was as if they knew them.”

One morning Colin and his wife were relaxing by the poolside, while their daughter chilled up in the room.

Within seconds the tranquil atmosphere was shattered by the horrifying sounds of gunshots.

“Shooting just erupted, I heard the gunshots first and everybody just dived down straight away,” he said.
