Mexico’s iconic Teotihuacan pyramids were closed Tuesday, a day after a gunman rained bullets down on tourists, killing a Canadian woman and leaving at least 13 people injured, including a 6-year-old boy, at the archaeological site north of the capital.

Seven people were wounded by gunshots, the local government said. The nature of the other injuries was not disclosed, but some people fell when shooting started, including some who were climbing on the pyramids.
