Teotihuacan shooting

24-04-2026 15:00

A young man comes to a famous place in Mexico. He has a gun in his bag. He shoots at people near the big pyramids. The Teotihuacan pyramids are very famous. Many people visit the place every day.

The man kills a woman from Canada. Many other people are sick or hurt. The man dies after the shooting. The man has a bag with him. Inside the bag, there are papers about another shooting in the United States. The President of Mexico says sorry to the family. Many people see the news on TV. They feel afraid.

Mexico is a popular place for a trip. In a few weeks, there is the World Cup. The police want to help and keep the city safe. They want every person to be happy. They want the pyramids to be a safe place again.

Difficult words: famous (when many people know about a person or place), hurt (to make somebody feel bad), trip (when you go to a place for fun or a holiday).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What did the papers inside the shooter’s bag reveal?
