BERLIN (AP) — Two people were killed and one wounded as a gunman fired shots at two locations in a southern Swiss town on Monday, police said.

Police said they had deployed officers to arrest the shooter. They said that he appears to have known his victims, but didn’t give further details or specify where he opened fire.
