A tragic incident unfolded at the Teotihuacán archaeological site in Mexico, resulting in the death of a Canadian woman and injuries to several others following a shooting carried out by a lone gunman. The perpetrator, who later took his own life, was found with a firearm, a bladed weapon, and live ammunition by authorities who responded to the scene.
Reports indicate that six individuals sustained injuries during the attack, with four suffering gunshot wounds and two being hurt while attempting to escape. The assailant was observed moving on a platform of the Pyramid of the Sun before committing suicide, as captured in online footage showing visitors on the structure’s steps.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum expressed deep sorrow over the incident on social media, extending solidarity to the victims and their families. She instructed the Security Cabinet to conduct a thorough investigation and provide necessary assistance. Officials from the Secretariat of the Interior and Culture are en route to the site to offer support alongside local authorities.
