Overnight, authorities announcing six Americans were injured in this shocking attack at a tourist site near Mexico City. 
A man opening fire at the Teotihuacan pyramids. 
A closer look and you can see him holding a gun, pacing near the top of one of the pyramids. 
Tourists fleeing as shots rang out. 
Some jumping from the face of the pyramid desperate to escape. 
Oh, he just jumped. 
You see people like starting to scatter up there on that platform. 
And then people start running down. 
And you just keep hearing gunshots going off. 
off. 
So, we just kept jumping down the ledges till we got to the bottom of the pyramid. 
A Canadian woman was killed. 
More than a dozen other people were injured until authorities finally shot the gunman. 
And I wasn't sure if there were more gunmen. 
And so, the adrenaline really kicked in and we're just trying to run as fast as we could. 
get down and then run away as fast as we could. 
Um and there's just kind of constantly gunshots going off. 
So, that's definitely scary. 
Officials say the shooter took his own life. 
They say a gun, a bladed weapon, and live cartridges were found at the scene. 
And those pyramids will be part of this summer's World Cup festivities.
