Crissier, Vaud, Switzerland (24 Heures, Fre) – The young man who Monday injured one man and fired 12 shots at the Islamic Centre near Lausanne, appears to have been suffering from psychiatric problems, reports 24 Heures, citing authorities and secondhand reports that the man’s brother said he had seemed to be "possessed" for some days before the incident. He reportedly threatened his parents in Bussigny before driving to the centre. His family are active members of the centre, says the newspaper, which interviewed people involved in the incident.
