The local government said seven people were wounded by gunshots. The injured people included American, Colombian, Russian, Brazilian and Canadian tourists. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum sent her condolences.
Gunman who fired on tourists at Mexican pyramid carried materials related to 1999 Columbine massacre
The gunman who opened fire on tourists at Mexico’s iconic Teotihuacan pyramids carried materials that were apparently related to the deadly 1999 shooting at Columbine High School. That's according to authorities who spoke Tuesday, a day after the attack that killed a Canadian woman and left at least 13 people injured. Although officials did not mention Columbine by name, they referred to several books and handwritten notes that belonged to the gunman and referenced attacks in the United States in April 1999. Monday was the 27th anniversary of the massacre in Colorado. The assailant, who authorities said acted alone, shot and killed himself.
