Gunman Kills Canadian Tourist at Mexico Teotihuacan Pyramids, 13 Others Wounded

A gunman opened fire at the Teotihuacan archaeological site near Mexico City, killing one Canadian woman and injuring 13 other tourists. The shooter then took his own life at the scene.

On April 20th, a gunman opened fire at tourists near the Pyramid of the Moon at the Teotihuacan archaeological site in Mexico. The incident resulted in the death of one 32-year-old Canadian female tourist, with thirteen other people injured including seven gunshot wounds. The injured tourists came from the United States, Colombia, Brazil, Russia, and other countries. The gunman was a 27-year-old male from Mexico City who committed suicide at the scene. Police discovered materials related to a historically famous campus shooting case on the gunman's person. This incident raised public concerns about the security conditions of Mexican tourist attractions, especially on the eve of the 2026 World Cup being held in Mexico.
