According to a report by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) on August 30, a shooting incident occurred in Aarau, the capital of the canton of Appenzell Rodeneck, Switzerland early in the morning. One person was killed and five people were injured. Currently, the Swiss police are making every effort to track down the shooter.
The shooting incident occurred at a racecourse in Alora, where an electronic music party was taking place. The shooter entered the scene and fired at the crowd. Maria Spini, a 22-year-old Italian woman, died on the scene. Four men and one woman were injured, including two Italian citizens. The injured people have been taken to hospitals for treatment, with varying degrees of severity of their injuries.
Aral police spokesman Mikael Leopold said at a press conference that the police are pursuing the gunman, but there is currently no information about the identity of the suspect.
Italian Prime Minister Meloni subsequently stated that she believes the Swiss government will thoroughly investigate the matter and identify all responsible parties. The Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that officials will be sent to Zurich to closely monitor the progress of the Swiss investigation.
The BBC reported that the crime scene has been cordoned off. The Swiss police have deployed a large number of officers in Aarau and surrounding areas. Armed riot police are patrolling the streets, and the Swiss military has also dispatched a helicopter to participate in the search operation.
