A tourist from Canada was killed and six other people were injured when a man with a gun opened fire at the historic Teotihuacán pyramids, the Mexican government said.
The pyramids are a popular tourist site about an hour north of Mexico’s capital.
The shooter died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said in a written update.
The local government said four people were wounded by gunshots and that two more were injured from falls.
Among those injured were Colombian, Russian and Canadian tourists, the local government said.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum wrote on social media that the shooting would be investigated and that she was in touch with the Canadian Embassy.
“What happened today in Teotihuacán deeply pains us. I express my most sincere solidarity with the affected individuals and their families,” she wrote.
