Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand said officials were in touch to provide assistance.
“As a result of a horrific act of gun violence, a Canadian was killed and another wounded in Teotihuac\u00e1n, Mexico,” Anand said in a post on X<\/a>. “My thoughts are with their family and loved ones.”
The Mexican attorney general\u2019s office identified the gunman as Julio C\u00e9sar Jasso of Mexico and authorities said he acted alone.
Thirteen people from different countries suffered a range of injuries, including six Americans, seven of whom were wounded by gunfire, Mexico\u2019s security cabinet said. The ages of the injured range from 6 to 55.
Of the seven people who were shot, Mexican authorities identified two as American, two as Colombian, one as Canadian, one as Russian and one as Brazilian. In addition to the gunshot victims, four Americans, one Brazilian and another Colombian were also hurt, the security cabinet said.
The cabinet said early Tuesday that five of the victims had been released from the hospital \u2014 the four Americans who were not shot and the Brazilian who was shot.
Social media videos verified by NBC News appear to show a man standing with a gun on top of a pyramid while people duck for cover.
The Mexican Foreign Affairs Ministry said it is in contact with \u201cother embassies of affected individuals to provide timely follow-up on these events.\u201d
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she has instructed the security cabinet to “thoroughly investigate these events and provide all necessary support.”
“What happened today in Teotihuac\u00e1n deeply pains us,” she said in a post on X<\/a>. “I express my most sincere solidarity with the affected individuals and their families.”
Gov. Delfina G\u00f3mez said care is being provided to the people who were affected.
IMSS Bienestar, a government organization that assists public health, confirmed it was providing medical care to several of the victims.
\u201cThe patients are being treated at the Axapusco General Hospital, where they remain under medical evaluation and ongoing monitoring, according to their clinical condition,\u201d the organization said in a statement.
American tourist Tim Chung, who is visiting Mexico from Seattle, was at the Teotihuac\u00e1n \u2060pyramids with a tour group when the shooting occurred.
\u201cAll of a sudden, I see a guy fall off one of the viewing platforms and then I heard a shot and another person fall off, and then I knew something bad was happening and heard screams,\u201d Chung said in a phone interview.
He said everyone in his tour group was safe but described the event as \u201cunbelievably sad.\u201d
The Mexican Secretariat of Security said it will maintain a presence in the area in coordination with the relevant authorities while it investigates.
The \u200bpre-Hispanic \u200bcity of Teotihuac\u00e1n \u2060was one of the most important \u200bcultural centers in \u200bMesoamerica.
