Kicking off in Switzerland

Search ongoing for Swiss chainsaw attack suspect - SWI swissinfo.ch

Man went into a branch of a health insurer and attacked staff with a chainsaw. Five people injured, two seriously.

Police have released these facts:
51 year old man, normally lives rough in the woods
He was registered in Graubunden, but has since de-registered
His VW Caddy registered in Graubunden has been found, but not known if he drove it recently
He has a criminal record, 2 recent convictions for owning weapons
He has some sort of disagreement with the CSS health insurance company
The police consider him dangerous, and advise everyone to stay at home or in the office
The police have no idea where he is, or which way he went
A helicopter is searching the area for the man

It is not being treated as a terrorist incident.

Thanks, merged the thread. Although NWP2C's comment is hardly adding any value. Clearly has no understanding of what constitutes a terror attack.

Switzerland is expecting that there will be a terror attack at some point.

Indeed, wasn't sure either about the use of the smoking icon...
