Canadian woman killed at Mexico pyramids

Panic erupted at the world-famous UNESCO heritage site as hundreds of tourists ducked for cover during the broad daylight shooting.

Mexican authorities have identified the shooter as a 27-year-old man who may have been inspired by the anniversary of the Columbine massacre.

Canada's Foreign Ministry has confirmed the death and is providing consular assistance to the injured.

The incident has raised serious security concerns as Mexico prepares to co-host the FIFA World Cup this summer.
