Tourist Calum French was among those to narrowly escape death after a lone gunman opened fire inside the Blue Parrot club in Playa Del Carmen.
He was one of three local partygoers inside the venue that night.
His Wagga mother, Pam, has told The Daily Advertiser of her panic and horror after learning of her son’s ordeal.
She claims to have felt a “third sense” in the lead up to the incident – experiencing a nightmare that something bad would happen to her son.
“He rang me and he sounded extremely shaken up and just kept promising me he was okay,” she said.
“I didn’t sleep at all last night thinking about what they went through.
“Your mind just tends to go to the mayhem.”
Mr French is believed to be boarding a flight out of Mexico on Wednesday.
