  "account": "Several individuals were hurt when gunfire erupted during an event at Schachen, Aarau, Switzerland on Sunday night. The Aargau cantonal police issued a plea for residents to stay away from the area, stating that a major police operation was currently in progress. On X, the police shared a statement saying, \"Aarau: Nighttime shots at event in Schachen. Several victims. Major police operation underway. Stay away from the area. More info to follow.\" The incident took place shortly after 2:30 a.m., as many attendees were at the horse racing track for the Aarau Rave event. A video circulating online reportedly captured the sound of multiple gunshots at 2:35 a.m., though HT could not independently confirm its authenticity. The police spokesperson, Vanessa Rumpold, confirmed that the incident occurred at the horse racing track. It remains unclear exactly what transpired, as the police only confirmed that several shots were fired at a large group of people. The police advised that the swimming pool in Aarau would remain closed until further notice due to the ongoing operation, and urged people to avoid the Aarau Schachen area.",
