The deadly shooting at a popular tourist site weeks before the World Cup has rocked Mexico.
A lone gunman killed a Canadian tourist and injured 13 others at the Teotihuacan archaeological site, raising concerns about Mexico's safety ahead of the World Cup.
Following a deadly shooting at the Teotihuacan pyramids near Mexico City, Mexican authorities are significantly increasing security at tourist and archaeological sites just weeks before the country co-hosts the FIFA World Cup with the U.S. and Canada.
Top Mexican officials have vowed to ensure safety ahead of the World Cup soccer matches following a shooting at the famed Teotihuacan pyramids that killed a Canadian tourist, and said the gunman appeared to have been influenced by violent incidents abroad.
Mexico's government announced it is increasing security at tourist sites after a man opened fire on tourists at pyramids outside Mexico City less than two months before the FIFA World Cup.
