[A shooting at Mexico’s Teotihuacán pyramids](https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/20/americas/mexico-teotihuacan-pyramids-shooting-latam-intl?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=missions&utm_source=reddit) has left at least one person dead and several people injured, Mexico’s security cabinet said Monday.
A man fired shots at the popular archaeological site, killing a Canadian woman, before taking his own life, the cabinet said on X. An unspecified number of people were wounded and are receiving medical attention.
CNN has reached out to the Canadian Foreign Ministry for comment.
Authorities say they have seized a firearm, a bladed weapon and live cartridges at the site.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says authorities from federal, state and local agencies are responding to the matter.
“What happened today in Teotihuacán deeply hurts us. I express my most sincere solidarity with the people affected and their families. We are in contact with the Canadian embassy,” she said.
*This is a developing story.*
I was there today. I descended from the top of the pyramid probably about 5 minutes before this all started. Was standing at the bottom of the stairs when the shots went off
Heard a pop go off, and then people rushing down the pyramid.
The steps are INCREDIBLY steep. I can’t even imagine needing to sprint down them.
Sprinting away from the danger it was just insane to see people waiting and filming. People getting fucking ice cream like nothing is happening. There were a good amount of people stuck at the top. He wasnt up there like executing people from what I could tell. It almost seemed like he was shooting around them. Somehow they are saying only one tourist dead right now in addition to the gunman
So unfortunate because it just adds to the stereotype of the country. Up until that point it was a great day
Not cartel related. Just a piece of shit acting on his own.
Edit: here is a photo I took today. This is for people who think I’m on here lying ??

The latest sacrifice to the moon goddess.
Only one? That’s very low for a Mexican shooting.
Omg the comments -.-
RIP the person and hope the injured recover soon. This is unprecedented, I cannot recall a shooting there in my entire life.
Who brings a gun to a World Heritage site on vacation?
I can think of another reason it’s unfortunate other than adding to a stereotype..
Absolutely terrible. I was just there last month and can’t imagine a place like that have a shooting. It’s just tourists walking around.
Holy shit I was just there, 17 years ago.
That could have been me
Damn I have been to Teotihuacan several times and it’s always very peaceful and just overall chill vibes. How horrible to possibly be on vacay looking at these wonders and having to run for your life soon after
Ready for the World Cup
Its crazy: I was also alone at top of the Pyramid of the Moon last year and was wishing healing to the whole planet. It was an incredible experience. This guy goes to the same place and shoots people.
