Manhunt after one killed and five injured in Swiss shooting, police say
A major police operation has been launched after the shooting at an event near Zurich overnight.
Overnight, a shooting occurred in Schachen, Aarau, Switzerland, resulting in one fatality and five injuries, according to local police. The Aargau Cantonal Police have launched a manhunt for the unidentified shooter, though the motive and exact circumstances remain unknown. The shooting took place near a horse racing track, approximately 29 miles west of Zurich.
A rave event was scheduled to commence in the vicinity shortly after midnight. The area surrounding the racing track, town swimming pool, and sports field has been sealed off, and the public has been advised to stay away. A significant number of officers have been dispatched to the vicinity as a precautionary measure. The police have requested witnesses to provide photographs and video footage of the scene, which was captured early Sunday morning, revealing a prominent police presence, including an armored vehicle blocking a road.
In addition to police and fire personnel, the regional disaster response unit (KKE) and a Swiss Army helicopter have been deployed to assist in the investigation.
