List of mass shootings in Switzerland

Last updated

This article is a list of mass shootings in Switzerland. Mass shootings are incidents of firearm-related violence that result in at least four people being killed or injured. The data in this article includes the death of perpetrators, including suicides or the killing of the perpetrator by police. Inclusion of perpetrator casualties and injured victims is at variance to some but not all definitions of mass shooting. The vast majority of mass shootings in Switzerland that are noted in this article are familicides, not public mass shootings. Despite its high rates of gun ownership and liberal firearms laws, Switzerland has been noted to have low rates of gun-related crime. [1] [2] [3]
