At least 1 killed and 5 injured in shooting at a rave in Switzerland

Police are searching for a suspect as investigators seek the motive after a shooting at a rave left one person dead and five injured.

  • On Sunday, a shooting at the 'Aarau Rave VOL. 7' in Aarau, Switzerland, killed one person and injured five others, some seriously. Aargau cantonal police confirmed the incident occurred at the Schachen horse racing track.
  • Approximately 3,500 people attended the techno party, which began Saturday afternoon and continued into the early morning. Police spokesperson Pascal Wenzel said authorities were alerted around 2:30 a.m. on Sunday.
  • Witnesses reported hearing 'bursts of gunfire' as many partygoers initially mistook the shots for fireworks. Attendees took refuge in a nearby gymnasium while police appealed to the public for video or photographic evidence of the incident.
  • Aargau cantonal police launched a 'large-scale response' to locate the perpetrators, whose identities remain unknown. Security forces, including an army helicopter, cordoned off large areas of Aarau while the manhunt continues.
  • While Switzerland maintains high rates of gun ownership, violent shootings remain rare in the country. Investigators are working to determine the motive and exact circumstances of the crime as the search for the suspect continues.
