A tragic incident unfolded at the Teotihuacán archaeological site near Mexico City as a gunman opened fire, resulting in the death of a Canadian woman and injuries to multiple individuals. Mexican authorities reported that the assailant, who later took his own life, was found with a firearm, a bladed weapon, and live ammunition at the scene.
Six people were wounded, with four sustaining gunshot injuries and two harmed while attempting to escape the violence. Initial accounts suggest that the attacker traversed a platform on the Pyramid of the Sun before ending his own life. Video footage circulating online shows the gunman pacing on the structure while visitors congregated on the lower steps.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum addressed the incident on social media, expressing deep sorrow over the events at Teotihuacán. She pledged full support and investigation by the Security Cabinet and dispatched officials from the Secretariat of the Interior and Culture to assist the affected individuals and coordinate with local authorities.
