Overview

• The shooting that struck the Pyramid of the Moon on Monday left one Canadian dead and 13 injured after the gunman held about 20 people on the steps and then killed himself.
• Investigators named the attacker as 27-year-old Julio César Jasso Ramírez and said he acted alone after planning the assault with repeat visits and hotel stays near the site.
• Police recovered a .38-caliber revolver, a knife and 52 rounds, along with writings that referenced the 1999 Columbine school attack, according to state authorities.
• Teotihuacan reopened Wednesday with bag checks, vehicle inspections and an expanded federal security presence at entrances, which eased worries for visitors and vendors.
• The injured include citizens of Canada, the United States, Colombia, Russia, the Netherlands and Brazil, with Brazil reporting a 13-year-old discharged and a 55-year-old still hospitalized in stable condition.
