A major police operation is under way in Aarau in northern Switzerland after shots were fired at a rave party, with reports indicating that there are multiple people injured.
The shooting happened shortly after 2.30am on Sunday at a horse racing track in Schachen, on the edge of the town, where a rave was being held.
"Aarau: Nighttime shots at event in Schachen. Several victims. Major police operation underway. Stay away from the area. More info to follow," police said in a post on X.
The police have urged the public to avoid the area, asking the public to share any film or pictures of the incident.
The Aarau Cantonal Disaster Response Unit (KKE) and an army Super Puma helicopter were also deployed at the site, according to Blick .
"It is not yet clear what exactly happened," media spokesperson for the Aargau Cantonal Police, Vanessa Rumpold, told the newspaper . The police can currently only confirm "several shots being fired at a large group of people."
Aarau's public swimming pool has been closed until further notice because of the ongoing operation, police said.
“Due to the ongoing major police operation, Aarau Swimming Pool will remain closed until further notice. Visitors are requested to stay away from Aarau Schachen,” the police said in another post on X.
The shots were fired on the sidelines of the "Aarauer Rave," an annual techno party that drew around 3,500 people to the Schachen racecourse between 3pm on Saturday and 2am on Sunday, according to Blick.
A reader told the newspaper they had heard "repeated shots," and a video obtained by the newspaper captured the sound of multiple gunshots at 2.35am. Another witness who was present said they initially thought the noise was fireworks, before hiding under the DJ booth.
It is unclear whether anyone has been apprehended in relation to the shooting.
