There are reports that two residents from Woodbridge, Ont., have been shot while vacationing in Acapulco, Mexico.

Reports say the pair, a man and a woman, were wounded at the Casa Inn hotel. The extent of their injuries is not yet known, but they are believed to be non-life-threatening.

Additional information is not yet available.

Another teen from Woodbridge, just northwest of Toronto, died last month while vacating in Acapulco.

Adam DePrisco, 19, was killed after attending a popular nightclub. Preliminary autopsy reports support the claim by Mexican police that he was struck in a hit-and-run crash.

DePrisco's family, however, believes he was beaten to death by locals for dancing with a man's girlfriend.

Less than two weeks after DePrisco's death, an elderly man from southwestern Ontario was killed in a hit-and-run accident that left his wife in a coma.

Clifford Glasier and his wife Janette Lerch, of Chatham, had been renting a house in the country for four months when they were struck crossing a street near Lake Chapala.

Glasier's death came about 11 months after Woodbridge couple Dominic and Nancy Ianiero were found slain at a resort near Cancun.

Mexican authorities have been accused of bungling their murder investigation.
