No link to terror, far-right in Zurich shootings - police
It did seem odd, and now we know.
[DeutscheWelle] Swiss police say the man who shot and injured three people at a Moslem prayer hall was not connected to radical Islam or the far right. The 24-year-old Swiss national did away with himself after the attack.

Zurich's police chief Christiane Lentjes Meili told a media conference that officers had searched the young man's home and found no links to hard boy Islam or any far-right group.

The 24-year-old Swiss national of partly Ghanaian descent
...Ghana is 17.6% Muslim, including Sunnis, Shiites, and Ahmaddis. The rest are various flavours of Christian...
burst into the Islamic Centre in central Zurich around 5.30 pm local time (16:30 UTC) on Monday and began shooting, according to police.

He "fired several shots at the worshippers," before fleeing, police said.

Three men, aged 30, 35 and 56, were maimed, two of them seriously. The suspect then beat feet from the mosque in the direction of Central Station," a police statement on Monday said.

"There are no indications that terrorism was involved," prosecutor Francoise Stadelmann said, adding that police are still unclear as to the suspect's motive. But Sherlocks said he "was possibly interested in occultism."
An interesting supposition to add without giving reason.
The police would have been unsure of the motive if the perp had been screaming "Alan Snackbar"...
Suspect did away with himself
After a short search, police found the suspect's body a few hundred meters (yards) from the scene on a river bank under a bridge. He appeared to have turned his gun on himself, Sherlocks told Tuesday's media conference.

The shooting happened just a few hours before a man plowed a truck into a Berlin Christmas market.

Answering questions from the media, a front man for Zurich's cantonal police said there was no indication of a connection between the two incidents.

While not identifying the suspect, Sherlocks said he had stabbed an acquaintance to death over the weekend after an argument. That victim was found on Sunday.
A third point would indicate a pattern -- d'you suppose his suicide counts as a third murder, dear Reader?
Police said the shooter lived alone and had quit his job at a shop last Friday.
Let that be a lesson unto you, dear Reader: keep your mind clear of occultism.
