Swiss police launched a manhunt Sunday after a 22-year-old woman was killed and five people were injured, in a shooting at a rave party in the northern canton of Aarau.
All the victims are Swiss residents and in their 20s, police said, adding that there was a large deployment and large areas of the town cordoned off. They appealed to the public for any images of the incident.
A witness told local daily Blick that shots were fired around 2:30 a.m. Sunday morning, and that he tried unsuccessfully to reanimate a woman bleeding from a gunshot wound.
Police said a 22-year-old woman died from her injuries at the scene. They have increased their presence beyond the town – about 50 kilometers west of Zurich – as a precaution.
An army helicopter was monitoring from overhead, Swiss state broadcaster RTS reported.
