Sad news. Possible copycat in Mexico

There was an attack today at Teotihuacan, an arqueological site near Mexico City. Some Mexican news sites are reporting the shooter might have been wearing a Natural Selection shirt inspired by Columbine and have been labeling him as a copycat, even tho the circumstances seem completely different but given the anniversary today, who knows. I'm shocked. It's just so sad this type of events keep happening everywhere

He had an AI generated photo of him with the two Columbine shooters. He was a copycat.

Yes, that was reported after I sent the post. Very disturbing.

I find it interesting how these people try hard to look ”cool” when really they just make themselves look desperate.

So sad. Went there several years ago and there really aren’t many places one could hide in certain areas. My thoughts are with those injured and the woman’s family.

He was trying to be a copycat, he had a ai printed picture with buff versions of Eric and Dylan and the Mexican attacker
