A San Jose, California, woman born in India was one of two foreign tourists killed in the apparent crossfire of a drug-gang shootout in Mexico's Caribbean coast resort of Tulum.

The shooting occurred on Tulum’s ‘Mini-Quinta,’ a reference to Playa del Carmen’s larger, flashier bar and restaurant zone known as Quinta Avenida, or Fifth Avenue.

The sign said the shooting “was a warning, so you can see we mean business,” adding “you either get in line or we are going to continue shutting places down like the Mini Quinta,” an apparent warning to pay extortion demands for protection money. The killings threatened Tulum’s reputation as a low-key carefree beach town without the crowding and problems of Cancun.

But there have been signs the situation was out of control months ago. In June, two men were shot to death on the beach in Tulum and a third was wounded.

corruption at its maximum level, meaning politicians, police and any sort of what we call authorities - LATAM syndrome

Where were the armed military people you see like on Cozumel? Wow, where there’s tourists, there’s drugs to be had or sold.

So an American citizen? 😂 What was the extra information for?

And the reason for highlighting the (seemingly) American woman was born in India is.........?

The Cancun Tulum terrorists say they will kill more

Tulum was a prize trip on The Price is Right today. Now I know where it is and it doesn't sound like much of a prize.

Why is her birthplace mentioned in the headline?

Apparently your editors go home early on fridays. journalism

And of course I zero in on the fact that President Obrador wants to build an international airport in Tulum...the blessing and curse of foreign tourism...WHY?😫

good luck

Lots going on in that tweet.
