At the beginning of the clip, the gunman is seen wearing a mask and carrying a backpack while mingling among the crowd atop the Teotihuacan pyramid before walking to an open area. He then puts the bag on the ground and pulls out a gun before the tourist recording the scene begins to descend.
Seconds later, multiple shots ring out and the visitors start rushing down the steps of the archaeological site to run for cover.
“Get down, get down, get down, get down,” a male voice can be heard on the video.
Canadian woman killed, 13 others injured
Mexican authorities identified the gunman as 27-year-old Julio Cesar Jasso Ramirez.
A 29-year-old Canadian woman was killed and 13 others were injured in the mass shooting, some from trying to escape the hail of bullets.
When police responded minutes later, the gunman killed himself.
Investigators said Jasso Ramirez was obsessed with Nazi Germany leader Adolf Hitler and the Columbine High School massacre . The shooting occurred Monday, which was the 27th anniversary of Columbine and Hitler’s birthday.
At the site where Jasso Ramirez died, police found an image generated by an artificial intelligence program of him with Columbine shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold as well as 58 rounds of unused ammunition.
Texas couple captured shooting
Texas couple Joel Torres and Yazmin Salcedo were visiting the pyramids just outside Mexico City with their son and daughter-in-law when they captured the shooting on video.
“Seconds, seconds later, he walked in front of us, sat himself down, and it was like, oh my god, not even, it was not even a minute, it wasn’t even a minute,” Torres told NBC affiliate KXAS . “It was less than that when the first shot happened.”
Salcedo said she was unsure in the moment where the gunshots were coming from.
“All we could hear is shots after shots after shot after shot, and we just didn’t know where these shots were going to,” she said. “We didn’t know if they were coming towards us or another one or air, we didn’t know. That’s why we just kept running and running.”
Following the shooting, heavy security was set up as President Claudia Sheinbaum called for better protections at tourist sites.
