Three wounded in shooting near Zurich Islamic center, target unclear
Three people were wounded in a shooting near an Islamic center in central Zurich on Monday, police said.
Swiss media said a suspect was on the run after the incident near the main train station in Switzerland's financial capital.
It was not immediately clear whether the Islamic center or any of the other businesses registered buildings nearby, were the target of the attack, or what any motive might have been.
People at the scene told Reuters they prayed at the center, which was used as a mosque, often by Somalis.
Zurich police confirmed people had been wounded in the incident on Zurich's Eisgasse, but gave no more details. A police official was expected to make a statement.
