Police in the Swiss canton of Aargau confirmed that a 22‑year‑old woman died at the scene of a shooting that broke out shortly after 2:30 a.m. on Sunday at the “Aarau Rave VOL. 7” held on a horse‑racing track in the Schachen area of Aarau, the cantonal capital.

Four men and another woman, all between 24 and 27 years old, were transported to local hospitals with injuries ranging from minor to serious. All six victims are Swiss residents.

Police response and investigation

Authorities cordoned off a large perimeter around the track, a nearby swimming pool and a sports field while conducting a thorough search. A cantonal disaster‑response unit, the Argus police special unit and a Swiss military Super Puma helicopter were deployed, and firefighters and emergency medical services responded on the scene.

Police have appealed to anyone who captured video or photographs of the incident to contact investigators, and an information line has been set up for relatives and witnesses. The perpetrator or perpetrators remain unidentified, and motives are still unclear.

Cross‑border cooperation

German police from the neighboring state of Baden‑Württemberg are assisting with the investigation as part of routine cross‑border cooperation, according to a spokesman in Freiburg.

Swiss DJ Tekibo, who performed at the event, posted on Instagram that the tragedy was “absolutely heartbreaking” and emphasized that raves should be places of freedom and safety. He mentioned losing an “important friend,” though it was not clear who he was referring to.

The investigation and search operation remain ongoing.
