Overview
- Early on Sunday, shots were fired at the Aarauer Rave in the Schachen horse-racing track area, prompting attendees to shelter and emergency services to respond.
- Authorities confirmed a 22-year-old woman died at the scene and five other people aged in their mid-20s were taken to hospital with injuries ranging from minor to serious.
- Aargau cantonal police have cordoned off wide areas, moved remaining attendees to a gymnasium for questioning, and deployed special units and an army Super Puma helicopter in the search.
- Police said suspects remain unidentified, no arrests have been announced, and they are asking the public to hand over photos or video that could help the investigation.
- Public shootings are rare in Switzerland, officials noted, and privacy rules mean authorities are not releasing victims’ names while the probe continues.
