Children among injured in mass shooting at Mexico’s pyramids

  • An armed man opened fire on tourists at the historic Teotihuacan pyramids in Mexico on Monday, killing one Canadian and injuring at least 13 others.
  • The assailant was identified as 27-year-old Julio Cesar Jasso, who was the sole perpetrator and later died from a self-inflicted wound.
  • Seven of the 13 injured sustained gunshot wounds, with others hurt during the panic as visitors attempted to flee the attack.
  • The injured included six Americans, three Colombians, one Russian, two Brazilians, and one Canadian, ranging in age from 6 to 61.
  • Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand expressed their condolences, and the UNESCO World Heritage Site has been closed indefinitely.
