A Canadian woman was killed and several others were wounded in a shooting Monday at the Teotihuacan pyramids, Mexico’s famous tourist and archaeological site, Mexican authorities said.
The attacker later killed himself at the scene outside Mexico City.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said X federal and state security forces were deployed to the site, adding, “We are deeply saddened by this incident.”
His administration was in contact with the Canadian government.
“I express my sincere solidarity with those affected and their families,” Sheinbaum wrote.
Mexico is preparing to co-host the 2026 FIFA World Cup with the United States and Canada, with the event expected to draw millions of visitors from abroad while focusing on security at major tourist and cultural sites.
The Teotihuacan pyramids received about 1.8 million tourists last year.
