Gunman in deadly Swiss rave attack ‘lone perpetrator’, police say
Police say no indication anyone else involved in attack that killed 22-year-old Italian woman. The man suspected of fatally shooting an Italian woman at a rave in Switzerland’s Aarau was a “lone perpetrator”, according to police. The commander of the Aargau cantonal police, Michael Leupold, said at a news conference on Wednesday that there was no indication anyone else had been involved in the attack early on Sunday that killed a 22-year-old Italian woman and wounded five people. “We, therefore, assume with a high degree of certainty that the shooting was the act of one individual,” Leupold said. The suspect, a 43-year-old Swiss man, handed himself in on Monday to police in Delemont in northwestern Switzerland’s Jura canton and has remained silent while in custody, according to prosecutors. Leupold said the motive for the attack was not known and the suspect was not previously known to police.
