The attack occurred around noon at the Pyramid of the Moon, a major UNESCO World Heritage site near Mexico City.

Witnesses described a scene of chaos as tourists fled the pyramids while the gunman fired from an elevated position.

Mexican security officials are investigating the motive behind the shooting, which comes as the country prepares to co-host the World Cup.

The Canadian government is providing consular assistance to the family of the victim as the investigation continues.
