Key Points:
- Julio César Jasso, a Nazi-sympathizing gunman, planned for two months before opening fire from atop the Pyramid of the Moon at Mexico’s Teotihuacán ruins, killing a Canadian tourist and injuring 13 others.
- Jasso booked a hotel room near the site, which featured a picture of the pyramid, and studied the image to plot the attack; he visited the tourist attraction multiple times before the shooting.
- Armed with a 1968 Smith & Wesson firearm and carrying 58 rounds of ammunition, Jasso fired from the pyramid platform before dying by a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
- Authorities found disturbing items including a knife, an AI-generated image of Jasso with Columbine shooters, and photos of him performing the Nazi salute, reflecting his extremist beliefs.
- Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has contacted the Canadian Embassy and ordered a thorough investigation into the incident, which took place at a historic site dating back to 100-450 C.E.
