The armed attack took place at the prosecutor's office for the state of Quintano Roo on Tuesday.
It comes one day after a shooting at an electronic music festival at a Playa del Carmen beach resort in the same state, which left five dead.
The gunman in Tuesday's shooting was killed when police responded during the assault by an undetermined number of armed aggressors, according to a Twitter message sent by Rodolfo de Angel, secretary for public security in the region.
