Gunman Fires on Tourists at Historic Mexican Site, Kills 1

A man with a gun opened fire Monday at the historic Teotihuacán pyramids, killing one Canadian tourist and injuring six other people at the tourist site an hour north of Mexico City, the federal government said. Four people were wounded by gunfire, per the AP, and two more were injured in falls, local government officials reported. Among those injured were Colombian, Russian, and Canadian tourists, they said. The shooter later died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to a statement by Mexican authorities.

The injured reportedly were receiving medical attention. Video footage posted on social medias show people fleeing the area as gunfire goes off around Teotihuacán's Pyramid of the Moon, per CNN. President Claudia Sheinbaum wrote in a post that the shooting would be investigated and that she was in touch with the Canadian Embassy. "What happened today in Teotihuacán deeply pains us," Sheinbaum said. "I express my most sincere solidarity with the affected individuals and their families."
