1986 Zürich shooting
text:
On 16 April 1986 Günther Tschanun opened fire in his workplace in Zürich, Switzerland, killing four people and seriously injuring one. The shooting came after difficulties and tensions in the building authority, where Tschanun was head. Tschanun escaped and was on the run for several weeks after the shooting, before he was caught in France. It was described by the Tages-Anzeiger as "one of the worst crimes in post-war Swiss history". Tschanun was initially sentenced to 17 years in prison in 1988
