Two Canadians died and a third was wounded Friday in a gun battle in the Mexican vacation resort of Cancun, authorities said.


The fight broke out at the Xcaret hotel complex when a Canadian man opened fire at three compatriots. Mexican officials quoted Canadian authorities as saying the people involved in the gun fight — apparently guests at the hotel — held criminal records for theft, drugs and
