Geneva - A man in north-eastern Switzerland shot two police
officers during a house search on Tuesday before later turning the
gun on himself.
The 33-year-old fled after shooting the officers and then hid to
prevent arrest, local police said.
After hours of negotiations, the man shot himself when police tried
to take him into custody.
"We can't say anything about the condition of the suspect at the
time," the police said, without specifying if the man was even alive.
The police also declined to provide further details about why they
were searching the house near the German and Austrian borders, but
did say that the man was trying to commit an act of terror.
The injured police officers were taken to a hospital, one of them in
critical condition.
