Deadly Shooting at Mexico Pyramids

The shooting at one of Mexico's most iconic tourist destinations has sparked international concern and calls for heightened security.

Authorities believe the attack was meticulously planned, with the gunman reportedly carrying materials referencing past mass shootings in the United States.

Among the injured were at least six Americans, some of whom were hurt while attempting to flee from the top of the Pyramid of the Moon.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has promised a swift and thorough investigation into the tragedy, which occurred on the anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre.
