TORONTO, 23 January 2022, (TON): Authorities said “two Canadians died and a third was wounded in a gun battle in the Mexican vacation resort of Cancun.”
The fight broke out at the Xcaret hotel complex when a Canadian man opened fire at three compatriots.
Mexican officials quoted Canadian authorities as saying the people involved in the gunfight apparently guests at the hotel, held criminal records for theft, drugs and weapons possession.
Lucio Hernandez, a public safety official in Quintana Roo state, which includes Cancun, said the shoot-out began after an argument among the Canadians.
Violence linked to drug trafficking has been a scourge for Mexico’s Caribbean coast for years.
