Several feared dead after shooting at Mexico's BPM festival

Up to five people have been shot and killed at Mexico's BPM festival, according to reports on Monday (January 16).

The incident is said to have happened at the Blue Parrot in Playa Del Carmen in the early hours of the morning, while there are suggestions another club may have been targeted.

Scottish DJ Jackmaster tweeted from the dance and EDM festival: "Someone has come into the club in Playa Del Carmen and opened fire. 4-5 dead and many wounded. Stay in ur f*ckin hotel if you're here at BPM. This is a very very sad situation. Tryna get my head around it still. Thoughts and condolences to all affected."

Angel told Dazed that she heard gunshots at the festival, but security staff initially said it was just fireworks. However, one of her friends then saw a gunman.
