Main shooting suspect arrested at Aarau electronic music festival
The police of Argovia canton detained a 43-year-old man during the night of Sunday with strong alleged involvement in the shooting that occurred in the early hours of the same day at an electronic music event in Aarau, according to Google News ES — Crime (es). The attack resulted in the death of a 22-year-old woman and left five other people wounded.
The authorities have clarified that they will not offer further details about the detained man until Wednesday. The investigation remains open to determine whether the arrested man participated directly in the shooting. Those responsible fled before the arrival of officers and it has not yet been established how many people were involved in the attack.
At the scene, spent cartridges of different calibres were found corresponding to at least two types of weapons: pistols or submachine guns and an assault rifle. However, police have warned that this finding does not allow conclusions to be drawn about the number of perpetrators, given that it is not ruled out that a single person used more than one weapon.
Investigators are working with several hypotheses about the motive, including a terrorist attack, an indiscriminate attack or a settling of scores, although this last possibility has lost weight in recent hours. The arrest of the 43-year-old man represents the most significant advance in the investigation since the shooting occurred.
