Swiss police arrest suspect after deadly rave shooting

Police say the suspect acted alone as investigators examine possible motives after one woman was killed and five others were wounded.

  • Swiss police arrested a 43-year-old Swiss man on Monday following a nearly 24-hour manhunt, apprehending the suspect shortly before 1 a.m. in connection with the deadly shooting at a rave in Aarau.
  • The attack occurred at a horse racing track in Aarau, about 46km west of Zurich, where a 22-year-old Italian woman was killed and five others sustained injuries during a techno rave.
  • Investigators discovered two types of cartridges at the scene, suggesting use of both a pistol and an assault rifle; the cross-border operation involved police from neighboring Germany.
  • Officials in the canton of Aargau stated, "At this stage, it is assumed that a single perpetrator was involved," and the suspect remains in custody on "strong suspicion" of the attack.
  • Authorities are investigating potential motives including terrorism and will release further details on Wednesday, confirming they are not currently searching for any other suspects.
