STATE OF MEXICO — A man opened fire Monday at the Teotihuacán pyramids in Mexico, killing one Canadian tourist and injuring six other people. The shooter later died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Four people were wounded by gunshots and two others were injured from falls, according to authorities. Those injured included Colombian, Russian and Canadian tourists, and all were receiving medical attention.

Mexico's Security Cabinet said a firearm, a bladed weapon and ammunition were found at the scene. Mexico's Secretariat of Security said it would maintain a presence in the area in coordination with relevant authorities while it investigates the incident. Mexico's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it is in contact with other embassies of affected individuals to provide timely follow-up on the incident.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she was in touch with the Canadian Embassy and would investigate the shooting. "What happened today in Teotihuacán deeply pains us. I express my most sincere solidarity with the affected individuals and their families." Sheinbaum said.

Governor of the State of Mexico Delfina Gomez Alvarez addressed the response at the site. "Care is being provided to the people who were affected, and the presence of elements from the state Secretariat of Security will be maintained," Gomez Alvarez said.

American tourist Tim Chung was at the Teotihuacán pyramids with a tour group when the incident occurred. The pyramids are located about 30 miles north of Mexico City and attract millions of tourists each year. The pre-Hispanic city was a cultural centre in Mesoamerica.
