Five people have been reported dead after gun shots were fired at the closing party of BPM Festival in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico early this morning.
DJ Jackmaster took to Twitter to warn festival-goers to “stay in your fuckin hotel”, saying someone had come into the festival and opened fire.
“Someone has come into the club in Playa Del Carmen and opened fire. 4-5 dead and many wounded,” Jackmaster tweeted from an Elrow event at the Blue Parrot venue. “Stay in ur fuckin hotel if you’re here at BPM.”
