Swiss man arrested over deadly rave shooting: Police
Five people aged between 24 and 31 were wounded, and the police believe that a lone gunman was involved.
Swiss authorities have arrested a Swiss national in connection to a deadly shooting at a rave in the town of Aarau, Switzerland. The incident occurred on Saturday night, resulting in the death of an Italian woman and injuring several others. Local police initially suggested the possibility of a terrorist act, but are now exploring other motives.
The attack took place after the party had officially concluded, with at least 100 people still present at the venue when gunfire erupted. Police believe the suspect acted alone, though they are still investigating the full circumstances and potential background of the incident. Investigations are ongoing to determine the exact details and motives behind the shooting.
Authorities assume a single perpetrator was responsible, as police in Aargau stated that the suspect was apprehended based on strong suspicion. At least five others were injured, some seriously, during the attack. Police discovered two types of cartridges at the scene, suggesting the presence of a pistol and potentially an assault rifle.
The suspect was located following a large-scale manhunt that involved authorities from neighboring Germany.
