A shooting incident in northern Switzerland has claimed one life and left at least five others injured, with some suffering serious injuries, according to local police in Aargau. The incident occurred at a rave party in the hippodrome, prompting a manhunt and a significant increase in police presence in the affected area. Police have appealed to the public for any footage or images of the event, which was captured on video by the mass-market Blick tabloid.

Aarau town is currently cordoned off as authorities conduct their investigation. Despite Switzerland's high rate of gun ownership, violent shootings are relatively rare, and the country implemented stricter gun control measures in 2019.
