An Italian national is among at
least four people killed in a shooting attack in a night club in
the Mexican resort of Playa del Carmen, Angel Pech Cen, attorney
general of Quintana Roo state, said on Monday.
Local sources named that dead Italian as Daniel Pessina.
Two Canadians, possibly members of the security detail at an
electronic music festival event at the Blue Parrot nightclub,
and a Colombian were also killed.
The Mexican authorities have ruled out terrorism as the
motive for the attack and a settling of scores between criminal
gangs is a hypothesis being considered, sources said.
