(BERLIN) A man armed with a chainsaw wounded five people at a health
insurer's office Monday in the northern Swiss city of Schaffhausen, police
said, triggering a manhunt for a suspect described as aggressive and
psychologically unstable.
Suspect Franz Wrousis, 51, has two previous convictions for weapons
offenses and no fixed residence, apparently preferring to spend his time
in the woods, authorities said.
The man seriously injured two insurance agency employees in their ground-
floor office in the old town of Schaffhausen in the morning, said
Christina Wettstein, a spokeswoman for insurer CSS.
The two employees were hospitalized and underwent medical operations but
authorities said their lives were not in danger. Another three people were
slightly injured in the confrontation.
The perpetrator had fled by the time police arrived. Authorities
immediately sealed off the city's old town.
Swiss police believe "this was first and foremost a crime against this
insurance agency," senior regional police official Ravi Landolt told
reporters, though there was no immediate word on the suspect's possible
motive.
Switzerland has a system of mandatory insurance with private health
insurers.
"We have information that this man is dangerous, that he is aggressive
and, shall we say, psychologically disturbed," he added.
Prosecutor Peter Sticher said Wrousis has two previous convictions for
offenses against weapons laws, one from 2014 and 2016. He didn't elaborate
or say whether they were committed, but said he has no previous record in
the small northern canton (state) of Schaffhausen, near the German border.
Wrousis was previously registered as living in Graubuenden canton, in
Switzerland's southeast. He apparently lives mostly in woods, Landolt
said, though it wasn't clear where he was immediately before Monday's
attack.
Police released old photos of the suspect standing among some trees in a
green T-shirt and black jeans. They didn't give details of when or where
the photos were taken. They described him as being bald, unkempt and about
1 meter 90 centimeters tall (6.2 feet).
On Monday afternoon, police found the Volkswagen minivan with registration
plates from Graubuenden that the suspect was believed to be driving. They
did not elaborate on its condition or say if anything else was found in
it.Schaffhausen is a city of about 36,000 people north of Zurich on the
German border.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party has run out of gas.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for ending the disaster of the
Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.
Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
