Arrest following shooting at racecourse in Aarau
Swiss police arrested a 43-year-old Swiss man on Monday during an investigation into a shooting at a rave party in the city of Aarau, according to Google News SI — Crime. In the attack, which occurred overnight on Sunday at a racecourse near Zurich, a 22-year-old Italian woman lost her life and five other people were wounded.
Aargau cantonal police stated in a public statement that the man was arrested overnight. "The man was arrested on strong suspicion of having committed a criminal act," they wrote. The investigation into the events, background and potential motives for the shooting incident is still ongoing. Authorities currently suspect that a single perpetrator was involved in the incident.
The 22-year-old woman succumbed to her injuries at the scene despite resuscitation attempts. Police stated that among the wounded were four Swiss nationals and one German, aged between 24 and 31 — all were taken to hospital with minor or serious injuries.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni expressed condolences to the victims the day after the incident and stated that two Italian citizens were among the wounded. Swiss police partially refuted this today, as they did not confirm Italian citizens among the wounded. Meloni added that she believes Swiss authorities will fully clarify what happened and who is responsible.
