Three Canadians have been shot and one has died after a dispute among guests at a hotel resort near Cancún, Mexico, local security officials say.

Gunfire erupted on Friday at the Hotel Xcaret Mexico in the tourist town of Playa del Carmen, about 70km (45 miles) south of Cancún on the Caribbean coast.

Photos of the suspected gunman were posted online by regional police chief Lucio Hernández Gutiérrez.

The attacker, a hotel guest, is still at large and a manhunt is underway.

The police chief did not say what is thought to have sparked the argument.

A spokeswoman for Canada's foreign ministry told the BBC: "Global Affairs Canada is aware of reports that Canadian citizens have been affected by an incident in Mexico.

Graphic video posted online shows the incident appears to have unfolded near an outdoor dining area.

In October, an American and a German tourist were killed in crossfire between two drug gangs in the resort town of Tulum.
