water squirted from a glass

There was one hole in the glass, so water squirted out from it. So whole floor got wet.

Glasses don't get little holes; they crack or shatter. There was a crack in the glass, so water leaked/seeped/ran out of it, and the whole floor got wet.

The glass shattered, so the water leaked out of it...

The glass cracked/was cracked, so the water leaked out of it...

There was a crack in the glass,. so the water leaked out of it...

There is no noun "shatter".

I dare say, if the glass shattered, the water poured all over the floor. There's be nothing for it to leak out of.

Gary, as I've said before, something that squirts goes some distance and comes out under pressure. When you have a hose and you cover part of the opening with your thumb, the water squirts out. Something that drips, seeps, or pours does not squirt.
