Witnesses reported a burst of gunfire. Panic broke out among the approximately 3,500 rave attendees—many sought shelter under DJ booths.
“According to preliminary findings, the nighttime shooting in Aarau’s Schachen claimed one life and left five people injured, some seriously,” the police reported. The area was cordoned off over a wide radius.
“Sparks on the ceiling”
A woman reported that her friend had been at the rave with a group. Around 4 a.m., her friend told her that there had been a shooting. At first, the attendees mistook the gunfire “for fireworks” because they had seen sparks on the ceiling.
According to the “Berliner Kurier,” a support center was set up in a nearby gym for shocked festivalgoers. The adjacent Aarau swimming pool will remain closed today until further notice.
Police Request Assistance
The Aargau Cantonal Police are urgently asking witnesses and partygoers to submit photos and videos from that night directly through their Instagram channel. No details regarding the weapon or the motive have been released so far.
A rave is a dance event—usually lasting several days or an entire day—at which DJs play electronic music such as techno, house, or trance. Originally emerging in the late 1980s as part of underground culture, raves today take place in clubs and warehouses as well as at large open-air festivals.
