Summary
Police said one or more gunmen opened fire after a rave in Aarau early Sunday, killing a 22-year-old woman and wounding five other Swiss residents.
Around 100 people were still at the venue when shots rang out about 2:30 a.m., after an event that had expected roughly 3,500 attendees had already ended.
Aargau police said the motive remains unclear, with investigators weighing a targeted settling of scores against a broader attack, though timing argues against the latter.
German police joined the search because the border is about 40 minutes from Aarau, while the crime scene stayed cordoned off mainly to preserve evidence.
Witnesses told Blick they first mistook the gunfire for fireworks, and authorities urged anyone with photos or video from the rave to come forward.
