The Pyramid of the Moon in Teotihuacan, Mexico, was the site of a deadly hostage situation on Monday.
Several victims were shot, including a Canadian woman who died.
The gunman eventually turned his weapon on himself during a shootout with police and was pronounced dead at the scene.
More than a dozen were wounded, either by being shot or falling. Thirteen foreign tourists were taken to the hospital: six Americans, three Colombians, two Brazilians, one Russian and another Canadian. Their ages ranged from six to 61.
New video of the shooting at Mexico's Teotihuacán pyramid that left one Canadian woman dead and more injured.
In the beginning of the video you can see the killer walk by with a mask and a backpack where his gun was stored before he opened fire.

Were foreigners being targeted?
“You who have come from f**king Europe are not going back. If you move, I’ll sacrifice you. See? I keep my word,” the gunman reportedly stated in Spanish.
