Two Canadians shot in Mexico strip club

TORONTO — Two Canadian tourists are in stable condition in hospital after they were injured in a shooting at a nightclub in the Mexican tourist destination of Cabo San Lucas.

Baja California state police investigator Omar Barajas says the gunmen fled after the shooting early Tuesday at Mermaid's Table Dance bar.

No arrests have been made.

The Mexican newspaper Tribuna de Los Cabos identified the two victims as Donguyen Ninhtrung, 26, and Michel Brenhan Spowe, 28, both from Vancouver.

Officials with the Department of Foreign Affairs in Ottawa said consular officials in Mexico were in contact with Mexican authorities, the hospital and the victims' families.

They wouldn't reveal any details on the victims in order to protect their privacy.

The paper says the younger of the two victims suffered a gunshot wound to the neck, while the other Canadian was struck in the chest and the leg.

A security guard at the club was also wounded.

I guess I'll stick to Chilly Willies while in Playa Del Carmen this week

now would be the best time to go to that club, it is probably slowed down after the shooting so the girls will be screaming for attention to make the money you'll probably get excelent "treatment" if they have been slow.

I could easily see this happening at Lord Black's too

Someone should just burn that place down. They love to extort money out of tourists.

I believe the 2 were involved in some kind of bad drug deal. Can't remember where I read it, but basically, they were targeted and it wasn't random. So really, they could've been shot in Vancouver too. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
