A shooting at a rave party in Aarau in northern Switzerland on Sunday has killed one person and injured five others, some seriously, local police said.

A major police operation is underway, and authorities have urged people to stay away from Aarau's Schachen area. The shooting took place near a horse racing track in Schachen, and the surrounding area, including a swimming pool and sports field, was cordoned off.
