Acapulco: Four killed in popular Mexico resort

At least four people were shot dead in the Mexican resort of Acapulco on Sunday.

According to official figures for the first half of 2017, the city's murder rate is second only to that of Tijuana.

Despite the high levels of violence, Acapulco tourism officials say the port is seeing "a major renaissance in its cruise ship arrivals" with 32 cruise ships expected to call this year.

The latest murders were due to fights between rival gangs, officials say.

Public security officials said that between January and June of this year, 714 people had been murdered in Tijuana and 412 in Acapulco.
