A horrific attack at Mexico's historic Pyramid of the Moon has claimed the life of a Canadian woman and wounded several Americans.

Mexican authorities revealed that the shooter, 27-year-old Julio César Jasso, had visited the site multiple times to plan the assault, which coincided with the anniversary of the Columbine shooting.

The incident has sparked international outrage and prompted calls from President Claudia Sheinbaum for tighter security at major tourist destinations.

Prime Minister Mark Carney has offered condolences to the victims' families as investigations into the shooter's motives continue.
