One person was killed and five others were injured in a shooting incident that occurred overnight in northern Switzerland, authorities announced. The Aargau Cantonal Police confirmed that a manhunt for the perpetrator is currently underway, stating that possible motives and the exact circumstances of the crime remain unclear.
The shooting took place near a horse racing track in Schachen, Aarau, a town located approximately 29 miles west of Zurich. Reports indicate that a rave was scheduled to occur in the area into the early hours of Sunday.
