A historic visit to the ancient Teotihuacán pyramids turned tragic on Monday, 20 April. A video circulating online shows the moment when a gunman atop the Pyramid of the Moon opened fire on a crowd of international visitors. The attack resulted in the death of a 32-year-old Canadian woman and left 13 others injured, before the perpetrator ended the shooting spree by taking his own life atop the archaeological structure.
Witnesses described scenes of panic as visitors scrambled for safety. Videos shared on social media showed the gunman firing sporadically while tourists sought cover on the pyramid's steps and surrounding plaza.
