A shooting at Mexico’s Teotihuacán pyramids has left at least one person dead and several people injured, Mexico’s security cabinet said Monday.

According to preliminary information, a man fired shots at the popular archaeological site, killing a Canadian woman before taking his own life, the cabinet said on X.

Authorities say they have seized a firearm, a bladed weapon and live cartridges at the site.

At least six people were injured — four by gunshots and two by falling — and they are receiving medical attention, the State of Mexico said.
