According to the police, the detectives searched and secured the gym. Witnesses who were training on the scene at the time of the crime are currently being questioned. The studio was now secured, it said shortly after 8 p.m.
According to a dpa reporter, heavily armed special police units were on the scene. Eyewitnesses were questioned by police at a nearby restaurant, he reported. One still had his sports bag with him.
“Bild” reported that the police are running an amok. The perpetrator or perpetrators must therefore still be a fugitive. (dpa/aargauerzeitung.ch)
