Las Gatas shootings

I just read this about shootings in Los Gatas. This combined with the caretaker's murder is very alarming.
Have you any thoughts about La Ropa during Christmas. I was there last year and all was normal. But I stayed mainly on La Ropa. Did go into town a few times...and had to do my traditional Sunday morning walk from la Ropa into town centre. I've been doing this walk since 1974!
A question Rob...Are hotels at any risk by this violence or are the victims targeted by rival criminals and hotels are off limits? sort of thing.
My habit is a sunrise walk on the beach every day and have always felt very safe. But I am thinking about Timmac's comment about that very important sense of safety...Los Gatas is just "over there" so close! I stay at the Catalina and I think the security there is efficient?
I appreciate any input as to my safety concerns...Actually just reassure me by saying 'Go, feel safe and you'll be fine! "
Feels impossible that I would come to any harm in one of my spiritual, soul nourishing places on the planet.
