A mass shooting occurred at the Teotihuacan archaeological site in Mexico, leaving one Canadian tourist dead and 13 others from various nations injured. The gunman, identified as Julio César Jasso Ramírez, opened fire from atop the Pyramid of the Moon before killing himself at the scene.
The attack is unprecedented for Mexican archaeological sites and raises urgent questions about security at major cultural landmarks, especially with the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaching. The incident highlights the strain on institutions like the National Institute of Anthropology and History, which manages the site and has faced significant budget cuts, impacting all operations including security.
