At least five people have been reported dead after a gunman went on a shooting rampage at a club called Blue Parrot during BPM Festival closing ceremony in Mexico.
Reports state that the incident occurred during the early hours of Monday when music lovers had gathered at the dance, music and EDM event. Soon after the shots were fired at the venue, Jackmaster took to Twitter and posted on the social networking site from Playa Del Carmen about the shootings.
"Someone has come into the club in Playa Del Carmen and opened fire. 4-5 dead and many wounded. Stay in ur fuckin hotel if you're here at BPM," he tweeted.
