Swiss police were hunting at least one gunman who opened fire at the rave, killing the Italian woman and wounding five others, some of them seriously.
The shooting, which happened in the early hours in Aarau and sent partygoers running for cover, is a rare event in the Alpine nation, despite its long tradition of gun ownership.
