Horror At Ancient Ruins: Gunman Kills Tourist, Wounds 13 Atop Mexico Pyramid
A Canadian tourist was killed, and 13 others were injured — including several Americans — after a crazed gunman held a group of people hostage atop a pyramid at Mexico’s famous Teotihuacan ruins. The gunman climbed midway up the Pyramid of the Moon — a nearly 2,000-year-old structure that was once used for ritual human sacrifice and opened fire on his cowering victims before finally turning the gun on himself, Mexican authorities said. The shooter was identified as Julio Cesar Jasso, 27, of Mexico, a state official told the Associated Press on the condition of anonymity. He died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the scene, where security officers recovered a gun, knife and ammunition.
