A Canadian woman was killed and a second Canadian was injured by a gunman who took his own life after opening fire on April 20 at the Teotihuacán pyramids near Mexico City, Mexican authorities say.

Local news footage appeared to show an armed man ​firing from the summit of one of the pyramids, which is among the ​country’s most visited tourist attractions. A number of gunshots rang out while people ducked and ran for cover.
