i wish we got more details , awful . I hope the family is ok, and on top of the loss, getting her back to canadian soil will be a expensive and i imagine a nightmare.
edit – having travelled/backpacked a bunch of LATAM, dangers are still very present even in tourist areas. I mean, in Canada there are still shootings but maybe not as random.

That’s why I would never go to Mexico no matter how cheap it is. So many stories of tourists ending up at the wrong place at the wrong time. Last thing on a vacation I need is to be worrying about my safety. Rather spend more and go to Europe or something.

Mexico isn’t even worth it. Plenty of way more beautiful crime ridden places to risk it over that place.

And I was just telling my girlfriend about how safe Mexico is to travel yesterday, regardless of what we saw in the media.
I told her that if we stayed in the resorts and just went to the tourist destinations we would likely see no criminal activity to the extent of shootings/kidnappings/robbery.
Sad to admit I am wrong, I really enjoyed the two times I travelled to Mexico in the past, but now it’s seeming like the risk isn’t really worth it in the end.

And there is people that thinks the Mexican president is doing a good job! Worst president of Mexico ever!

Mexico is one of the most dangerous places for Canadians to travel to – at least 25+ Canadians have been killed in Mexico since 2016.
I feel a lot safer in America than Mexico, let me just put it that way.

Hmmm…
You’d expect to get killed in a mass shooting in the U.S. not Mexico, but alas, random acts of violence are random, so yeah…
Tragic.

This is literally a “tourist” spot in one of the most dangerous cities in the world being Mexico City. Honestly I’m shocked this doesn’t happen more to be honest. Some people think they’re immune and act ignorant only to FAFO.
I will always feel safe going to Mexico. It’s a huge country with more than one spot to go to. Oaxaca is my number one spot and always will be.
Still very sad what happen and condolences to the family at this time.

This is not a Mexico problem, Mexican crime doesn’t usually involve an explosive vest. Something else happened here, sadly.

Wow. I was part of the hot air balloon tours over the pyramids this morning. Me and my friends felt too lazy to continue touring the pyramids on foot so we went back to CDMX and just missed this.

One of my facebook friends was there today when this happened. He’s okay, but sadly this woman and 6 others aren’t.
So senseless.

Southeast Asia is safer than Mexico

I have never understood why everyone thinks Mexico is so safe.

Awful. I will never travel to Mexico under any circumstances. Not even if I were paid $10,000,000. It’s never worth the risk.
Claims of safety are just copium. El Salvador is safe these days. Mexico? No way.

I read that the shooter was Canadian. Currently looking for sources.

Oh that’s awful, especially because it’s at a tourist site.
I was in Mexico City for a month and a half and had a wonderful time, including at the pyramids.
