Deadly Rave Shooting in Switzerland: A Grim Reminder of the Dark Side of Gun Culture A shooting at a rave party in Aarau, northern Switzerland, has left one person dead and several wounded.
The incident is all the more disturbing given that it occurred on the sidelines of an event that drew 3,500 people to a horse racing track. Switzerland's unique gun culture is a subject of fascination and debate.
The country's militia based military system means many men complete compulsory service, and a significant share of households have firearms linked to military or shooting club participation.
