A Canadian woman was killed and several other individuals were injured in a shooting at the Teotihuacan pyramids near Mexico City on Monday. According to Mexican authorities, the gunman opened fire at the popular tourist and archeological site before killing himself.
The Teotihuacan pyramids, a UNESCO World Heritage site, are located approximately an hour outside of Mexico City and are a major draw for international tourists, including Canadians. The identity of the Canadian woman has not yet been released, and the motive for the shooting remains unclear. The injured are currently receiving medical care, according to Mexico's security cabinet.
Global Affairs Canada has not yet released an official statement but is reportedly aware of the situation. The incident is likely to raise concerns about tourist safety in Mexico, a popular destination for Canadian travelers, especially during the winter months.
This is a developing story, and more details are expected to emerge as investigations proceed. Canadian officials are working with Mexican authorities to gather information and provide assistance to those affected by this tragedy.
