Prime Minister Mark Carney on Tuesday expressed condolences to the family of the Canadian woman killed in a shooting in Mexico, which a Canadian witness who narrowly avoided being caught in the gunfire described as “horrible” and “unbelievable.”
Mexican authorities are investigating after a man opened fire on visitors at the historic Teotihuacán pyramids, a popular tourist site outside Mexico City, on Monday before taking his own life. Thirteen people of various nationalities were injured, seven of whom — including a second Canadian — were struck by gunfire.
The name of the woman killed has not yet been released by authorities, but a list of the 13 injured patients in hospital released by Mexico’s security cabinet named the second Canadian as 29-year-old Delicia Li de Yong.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has promised an investigation and strengthened security around Mexican archaeological zones and main tourist destinations.
