The perpetrator later died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on Monday, local officials said. The State of Mexico said seven of the injured victims had been shot, and others had suffered from falls. AlJazeera reported.
Care is being provided to the people who were affected, and the presence of elements from the state Secretariat of Security will be maintained,” Mexico State Governor Delfina Gomez Alvarez wrote on X.
Victims of the attack were taken to hospital for treatment. They include Colombian, Russian and Canadian tourists, the local government said. The extent of their injuries was not immediately clear.
Videos and photos published by local news organisations show a man standing with a gun on top of a pyramid while people duck for cover. Several gunshots ring out in the videos.
The incident took place shortly after 11:30am (17:30 GMT) local time, when dozens of tourists were at the top of the Pyramid of the Moon.
