A tragic incident unfolded at the Teotihuacán archaeological site near Mexico City, resulting in the death of a Canadian woman and injuries to several others following an attack by a gunman. The assailant, who later took his own life, was found with a firearm, a bladed weapon, and live ammunition by responding officials. Reports indicate that six individuals were wounded, with four sustaining gunshot injuries and two harmed while attempting to escape.
Eyewitnesses shared footage online showing the attacker moving on a platform of the Pyramid of the Sun before ending his own life, while visitors gathered on the lower steps of the structure. Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum expressed deep sorrow over the events at Teotihuacán, extending solidarity to the victims and their families. She announced a comprehensive investigation by the Security Cabinet and dispatched personnel from the Secretariat of the Interior and Culture to provide aid and support, in coordination with local authorities.
