Mexico's Teotihuacan archaeological site was the scene of a gun attack on Monday

The gunman who killed a Canadian tourist and wounded 13 others at Mexico's famed Teotihuacan pyramids had planned the attack days in advance, officials said Tuesday, as evidence pointed to him being inspired by a US massacre.

President Claudia Sheinbuam called for tighter gun controls at tourist areas after Monday's attack -- which comes just weeks before her country hosts several World Cup football matches.
