Lone Gunman Attacks Teotihuacan Ruins, Killing One and Injuring Several Tourists
On April 20, 2026, a lone gunman opened fire at Mexicos Teotihuacan ruins, killing one Canadian woman and injuring four other tourists before taking his own life. The shooter, acting alone, targeted the Pyramid of the Moon, a popular spot for history enthusiasts. Two Colombians, another Canadian, and a Russian were among the injured, along with two others who were hurt in the panic. President Claudia Sheinbaum condemned the attack, ordering a full investigation, and authorities have since cleared the area and secured the shooters weapon and ammunition. This incident raises concerns about tourist safety, as the World Cup approaches and tourism contributes to nearly nine percent of Mexicos economy.
