(MENAFN) At least one person is dead and five others wounded after gunfire erupted at an event drawing roughly 3,500 attendees in the Swiss town of Aarau early Sunday, according to police.
Several of the wounded were listed in serious condition, the Aarau cantonal police said in a post on X.
A large-scale police operation is now underway as authorities hunt for the shooter or shooters responsible.
"Possible motives and the exact circumstances of the incident remain unclear," police said, offering no further details on potential suspects.
