The Associated PressForensic technicians and hotel employees stand near a scene where two Canadians were killed and a third wounded in a shooting at Hotel Xcaret in Mexico's Quintana Roo state on Friday.On Friday, prosecutors said both men who died had criminal records in Canada, and one was a known felon with a long record related to robbery, drug and weapons offences.

The attack took place Friday at the Hotel Xcaret resort south of Playa del Carmen. The attackers apparently had guest wrist bands to enter the resort.Montes said a first group of assassins hired to kill the Canadians earlier in January abandoned the job because there was too much security.Authorities said the two suspects arrested in the case so far are a professional kidnapper from Mexico City who co-ordinated the plot, and the hired killer.

An ambulance is seen outside the Playamed hospital, where a wounded person was transferred after the shooting at the resort, on Friday. A Romanian gang has long operated in the state, using ATMs to clone credit cards or make illegal withdrawals. And this week authorities arrested two Ukrainians for their alleged involvement in a fuel theft ring. Immigrant traffickers have long used Cancun as a base for smuggling Cuban migrants.

How did they manage to travel to Mexico? Maybe if we didn’t have a candy ass legal system we could keep criminal human garbage in prison where they belong.

They were also classified as covid deaths and probably anti vaxxers and jan6 trumpers..... Or had evidence implicating the Clinton's in some crime

Who f*ing cares! Two drug dealers died.

What is going on ? It’s clear by focusing on this headline you suggest these individuals got what they deserved. Your a tabloid.

Well then, that figures

What am I supposed to take away from this tweet? 'Don't worry about it, their lives were useless, anyway' Are you signalling that they deserved to be murdered?
