Man arrested after Swiss rave shooting that killed woman

A 43-year-old Swiss man has been arrested following the shooting at a rave in Switzerland on Sunday.

The arrest comes after a 22-year-old Italian woman Maria Spinelli was killed and several others injured at a techno rave being held at a horse racing track in Aarau, a town about 46km (29 miles) west of Zurich.

Organisers had expected 3,500 people to attend. Aarau, home to approximately 23,000 people, is less than 40km from the border with Germany, where local media reported police were supporting Swiss forces.

The last major shooting occurred in 2001, when 14 members of the parliament and local government of Zug, near Lucerne, were killed by a gunman who then took his own life.
