Swiss rave shooting suspect silent, police call it lone-wolf rampage

–

Neutral summary

Police in the Swiss canton of Aargau have confirmed that the gunman who opened fire at a rave festival in Aarau acted alone, classifying the incident as a rampage. The 43-year-old Swiss national fired 40 rounds from an AK-74 rifle, killing 22-year-old Italian Maria S. and wounding six other people before surrendering to police, according to prosecutors. The suspect, found with two pistols and the rifle in his car, has remained silent since his arrest; prosecutor Christoph Ruedi said the man has “psychological problems,” while authorities found no link to extremist movements. He previously worked as a military cook in the Swiss army.
