One person was killed and five others were wounded, some of them seriously, in a shooting at a rave party in northern Switzerland, local police said on Sunday.
“The search for the perpetrators, whose identities are currently unknown, is under way,” they said on social media, adding that the motives and exact circumstances were not yet known.
Earlier, officers said the incident in Aarau, north of Zurich, left “multiple victims” and prompted a “large-scale” police response.
Swiss newspaper Blick reported on its website that the shots were fired before 3am (local time) on the sidelines of the Aarauer Rave.
Some 3,500 people attended the annual techno party between 3pm on Saturday and 2am on Sunday.
Police spokeswoman Vanessa Rumpold was quoted as telling the newspaper that the shooting happened at the racecourse where the event was held.
