Overview
- A man opened fire from partway up the Pyramid of the Moon shortly after 11:30 a.m. Monday, killing a Canadian woman before taking his own life in a shooting captured on bystander video.
- Officials first reported six injuries, though later hospital and agency counts raised the total to as many as 13, with about seven treated for gunshot wounds as tallies continued to firm up.
- Victims include foreigners from Canada, Colombia, Russia, Brazil, and the United States, and several people were hurt in falls as crowds scrambled down the steep steps.
- Police and a National Guard unit secured the UNESCO site, opened a coordinated investigation, and said they recovered a handgun, a knife, and live ammunition.
- Mexico’s president said agencies are working the case and in contact with the Canadian Embassy, while the incident renews concern over lapsed entry screening and protection at a complex that drew about 1.8 million visitors last year.
