Julio Cesar Jasso Ramirez, the 27-year-old gunman behind Monday's shooting at Mexico's famed Teotihuacan pyramids, drew inspiration from pre-Hispanic sacrifices and the notorious 1999 US shooting at Columbine High School, according to investigators.Â
The attack, which ended with the assailant taking his own life, injured 13 people at the tourist attraction, and left a Canadian woman dead.Â
