Mexico pyramid shooting kills tourist

Terror struck one of Mexico's most iconic tourist destinations on Monday when a gunman began firing indiscriminately at crowds from the top of an ancient pyramid.

Eyewitnesses described scenes of chaos as visitors scrambled for safety while the shooter taunted first responders.

Mexican officials have vowed to significantly bolster security at archaeological sites ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The investigation has revealed that Jasso had studied images of the site in his hotel room and appeared to be influenced by mass shootings in the United States.
