MEXICO CITY — Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has promised an investigation into the shooting at a set of historic pyramids that killed one Canadian tourist and wounded another.
Sheinbaum wrote on social media that Monday’s shooting at the site of the Teotihuacán pyramids “deeply pains” her government and said she was in touch with the Canadian Embassy.
Mexican officials identified the shooter to The Associated Press as 27-year-old Julio Cesar Jasso of Mexico, who later died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Video and photos published by local news outlets show a gunman standing atop one of the pyramids while dozens of tourists ducked for cover.
