Americans in Honduras were being warned about a potential mass shooting on Tuesday and on May 16 at several locations in the Central American nation’s capital, Tegucigalpa.

U.S. Embassy personnel were warned to avoid the locations. The embassy said the threat didn’t specifically appear to target U.S. citizens.

Honduran authorities are investigating.

Currently, the State Department urges Americans to reconsider traveling to the country, citing high levels of crime.

TEGUCIGALPA, HONDURAS - JULY 20: Police patrol the streets of a gang ridden neighborhood on July 20, 2012 in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Honduras now has the highest per capita murder rate in the world and its capital city, Tegucigalpa, is plagued by violence, poverty, homelessness and sexual assaults. With an estimated 80% of the cocaine entering the United States now being trans-shipped through Honduras, the violence on the streets is a spillover from the ramped rise in narco-trafficking.

“Violent crime, such as homicide, armed robbery, and kidnapping, remains common,” a travel advisory states. “Violent gang activity, such as extortion, violent street crime, rape, narcotics, and human trafficking, is widespread. Local authorities may lack sufficient resources to respond effectively to serious crime incidents.”
