A shooting at the ancient pyramids of Teotihuacán — one of Mexico’s most visited archaeological sites — left two people dead and at least six injured on Monday. Among the fatalities was a Canadian citizen. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded swiftly on social media, saying she had instructed her Security Cabinet to conduct a thorough investigation and provide all necessary support to victims’ families and the injured. “I express my most sincere solidarity with those affected and their families. We are in contact with the Canadian embassy,” Sheinbaum wrote. Personnel from Mexico’s Interior Ministry and the Ministry of Culture were dispatched to the site to coordinate the response. The incident is certain to renew debate about security at Mexico’s major tourist destinations.
