Swiss police say several people have been killed in a shooting in northern Switzerland, including the suspected killer.

Officers responded to reports of shots fired late on Saturday night, and found an unspecified number of bodies both in and outside a residential building in the town of Wuerenlingen. Police said all those killed were adults.

The identification of bodies is underway.
