Swiss police revised the identities and ages of five people wounded in the shooting outside a rave in Aarau's Schachen area. The updated account identifies one German woman and four Swiss men aged 24 to 31, replacing the preliminary age range of 24 to 27. A 22-year-old Italian woman was killed after an unknown assailant or assailants fired several shots as attendees were leaving early Sunday, and the five wounded people were hospitalized with light-to-severe injuries. Police said the attacker and motive remained unidentified as investigators in Switzerland and neighboring countries continued the search.
