Overview
A man opened fire Monday atop the Pyramid of the Moon in Teotihuacán, killing one Canadian tourist and injuring four to six others, Mexican authorities said.
The shooting occurred at Teotihuacán, one of Mexico’s most visited archaeological zones about 30 miles north of Mexico City, which drew more than 1.8 million international visitors last year, officials said.
President Claudia Sheinbaum said the shooting "deeply pains us," that authorities were investigating, and that officials were in contact with the Canadian Embassy, she wrote on X.
Officials said four people were wounded by gunshots and two were injured by falls, and that a firearm, a knife and ammunition were found at the scene.
Authorities secured the archaeological zone after the shooting, provided medical care to the wounded and said security forces would maintain a presence while the investigation continues.
