A Canadian tourist was shot and killed Monday while visiting the Teotihuacán pyramids in Mexico, according to local authorities. Mexico’s security officials said a gunman opened fire at the popular tourist spot, killing a Canadian woman and injuring at least 13 people, including seven Americans. The shooter is believe to have taken his own life, the Security Cabinet said. Local prosecutors identified the gunman as Julio Cesar Jasso Ramirez, a Mexican national.

His cause of death has not yet been officially determined, Mexico’s attorney general’s office said. Mexico’s Security Cabinet said a firearm, a bladed weapon and ammunition were found at the scene. The gunman also had notes that appear to reference the 1999 Columbine High School massacre, local officials said. In a video posted on X, verified by CBS News, a man with a gun is seen pacing near the top of the Pyramid of the Moon. In another video, gunshots can be heard as visitors of the archeological site are seen walking at the bottom of the pyramid. “I have hostages and if you try to climb up I’ll kill them,” the gunman can be heard telling responding officers in another video taken by a witness.

Deputies are investigating after multiple people were shot at a park in the Arden-Arcade area on Saturday evening, officials said. The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said it received reports around 6:30 p.m. of individuals at Howe Community Park possibly carrying concealed weapons, followed by another call about a potential fight and people running from the area. Authorities said several hundred people had gathered at the park for what was described as an unauthorized event. Deputies were asked to clear the area and spent about 15 minutes making announcements over loudspeakers for people to leave.

That’s when deputies reported hearing between 20 and 25 gunshots, sending people running from the park. The sheriff’s office said first responders took four people to the hospital: a 24-year-old male, a 25-year-old male, a 21-year-old male, and a 23-year-old female. The sheriff’s office said three of them were shot, and one of them had a laceration from being grazed by a bullet.  They were all in stable condition, and none of them had injuries that were life-threatening, the sheriff’s office said. Investigators have not announced any arrests as of Sunday, but said the Solano County Sheriff’s Office did find a vehicle of interest in Fairfield. There were three occupants in the vehicle, a male and two females, who were detained and interviewed. The sheriff’s office said a gun was found in the vehicle, but they do not yet know if the three people were involved in the shooting or if they were and to what extent.

His plans were not immediately clear, Lt. Aaron Boisvert said.

Court and public records show he has a criminal history that includes convictions for assault, threatening and drug possession.
