    I have written a comment over about 10 times and keep deleting it cause I sound rude and I am trying not to be. 30 miles is VERY far from here, and in the 8 months I have been here I have gone 1 time that far away. RELAX, seriously!!!!!! If you are a druggie then maybe you have something to worry about. But tourists only harm themselves here... 99% of the time.

    Oh, and I just read on a Phily news page that 3 ppl were killed outside of a S Jersey Shore town. Sure wouldn't stop me from going there. Yes, it wasn't random, and I can bet my life that this wasn't either. Just thought I'd add this fact.

    I do not know where the idea of Americans being killed comes from. Only 2 people who are dead have been identified as of a short while ago and neither are Americans. This is more likely a drug related issue with the drug lords mad at someone and making a very strong point as to not to cross them. It has nothing to do with tourists in any way.

    My apologies to everyone for 'ass-uming' they were Americans. Even I occasionally fall victim to reporting like this making it sound like Americans believe it actually was. So for that I apologize.

    I also stated I will not let this interfere with my holiday. I don't plan on doing anything differently down there than I do in my own home town which has kept me safe for 10 years (and no I'm not a hermit in my home either). Thanks to you as well Steve for clearing up the issue with the link...you're always fast on the draw and highly appreciated!

    aye but the gunman had began his spree by killing two people he had a fued with and then many others he knew. he was obviously clinically depressed.

    in glasgow youll find that there are that number of murders EVERY month at least and i walk around here free as a bird. not one ounce of fear as there is no reason to be fearful.

    Many places in Mexico are specifically mentioned as places to avoid. Cancun is not one of them.

    During the six year period 1st Jan 2004 - Dec 2009 32 Americans died in Cancun of non natural causes - an average of just over 5 people per year. This figure includes thousands of expats who live in Cancun year round.

    Causes of death were:
    Drowning 14
    Vehicle accidents 6
    Other accidents 6
    Suicide 4
    Drug OD 1
    Murder 1

    Death of U.S. Citizens Abroad by Non-Natural Causes
