Canadian woman killed in shooting at Mexican tourist site: authorities – National

A Canadian woman was killed in a shooting at Mexico’s Teotihuacan pyramids by a man who later took his own life on Monday, Mexican authorities said.

Mexico’s security cabinet said in a statement on X that several more people were injured in the shooting at the popular tourist and archaeological site outside Mexico City.

“Unfortunately, a woman of Canadian nationality lost her life,” a translation of the Spanish-language statement said.

The Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection said in its own statement that two people were found dead at the scene, including the suspected shooter, and that four others were injured by gunfire.

Two more people were hurt in falls during the shooting, it said, adding all those who were injured were transferred to hospital for treatment.

Global Affairs Canada did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on X that her government was in contact with the Canadian embassy and was investigating the shooting.

“What happened today in Teotihuacan deeply pains us,” she wrote in Spanish. “I express my most sincere solidarity with the affected individuals and their families.”
