Gunmen open fire

-

A PAIR of gunmen have burst into a bar and opened fire with pistols, killing one person and wounding 11 others in the Mexican resort city of Playa del Carmen.

The state of Quintana Roo’s Tourism Promotion Council said on Tuesday that none of the people shot were tourists. Its statement said Monday’s attack stemmed from a dispute between criminal elements.

The council said the state’s leaders had been taking steps to keep popular tourist destinatio­ns safe through installati­on of surveillan­ce cameras and modernisin­g the police force.
