BERLIN (AP) – Five people have been found dead after a shooting in a town in northern Switzerland, including the suspected gunman, police said Sunday.

Residents heard shots in the town of Wuerenlingen shortly after 11 p.m. Saturday, police said. Officers then found dead people lying outside and in a house in a residential area.

All the dead were adults. The dead include the suspected gunman, who is believed to have killed himself, Aargau canton (state) police chief Michael Leupold said at a news conference.

He said that the information investigators have suggests a domestic dispute was behind the shooting.

Wuerenlingen is a town of some 4,500 people northwest of Zurich, near the German border.
