Two shootings in as many days have left nine people dead in a major Mexico tourist destination and triggered a warning to visitors from the US government.
Three gunmen and a police officer died during a gun battle at a state prosecutor's office in Cancun on Tuesday, Governor Carlos Joaquin Gonzalez said.
It comes a day after three tourists and two Mexicans were killed in a shooting at an electronic music festival in the nearby resort of Playa del Carmen.
It is not known if the two shootings were linked, but the attacks have spread panic in the Caribbean coastal city, which has avoided some of the drug-related violence that has hit parts of Mexico.
