Two Canadians killed in Mexican resort gun fight
Agency Report
Two Canadians died and a third was wounded Friday in a gun battle in the Mexican vacation resort of Cancun, authorities said.
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 gun fight — 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.
