Tonight harrowing new video of that deadly shooting rampage at the ancient Teotihuacan pyramids outside Mexico City.

American Greg Magadini visiting with friends. 
There was only three real options that anyone could do. 
Stairs, drop off the side ledge, or lay down and and see what happens. 
And tonight Mexican authorities revealing the shooter identified as a 27-year-old Mexican national was carrying images and handwritten notes tied to the Columbine school shooting inside his backpack as officials investigate the shooting as a copycat attack 27 years to the day of the Columbine massacre. 
Investigators now looking at this image showing the suspect's revolver, a knife, and dozens of rounds of ammunition saying he took his own life. 
David, authorities say the shooter 
planned this attack in detail visiting the pyramids multiple times before the shooting. 
David, 27 years after Columbine. Matt Rivers, thank you.
