Manhunt underway after woman killed in Swiss rave shooting
The shooting happened outside a rave in the northern Swiss town of Aarau. Police said they were still searching for the perpetrator.
A 22-year-old Italian woman died after a shooting at a rave party in Aarau, Switzerland, near Zürich, according to police. Five other individuals, aged between 24 and 27, were wounded, some seriously. Swiss authorities are searching for at least one gunman who opened fire at the overnight event, which is rare in the Alpine country despite its relatively high gun ownership rates.
Police spokesman Bernhard Graser stated that while they have no reliable information on the perpetrators, they do not know if they are a single person or multiple individuals, nor if they fled on foot or in a vehicle. Police urge residents to stay away from the area and requested any videos or images of the incident. German police in neighboring Freiburg are also assisting in the manhunt.
The shooting occurred before 3:00 a.m. local time during the annual Aarauer Rave at the Schachen race course, where a techno party was taking place.
