Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Tuesday called for tighter gun controls at tourist sites following a deadly shooting at the Teotihuacan pyramids just weeks before World Cup games are hosted in the country.

"Evidently, we need to tighten security," Sheinbaum said in reference to Monday's shooting, which according to authorities was a planned attack that left one person dead and 13 injured.

"We need to have better security to make sure someone can't enter an archaeological site, a tourist site, with a firearm," the president said in her morning press conference in Mexico City, which is set to host World Cup football matches in June.
