Geneva, Rabi'II 05, 1438, January 03, 2017, SPA -- A man in north-eastern Switzerland shot two police officers during a house search on Tuesday before later turning the gun on himself, dpa reported. The 33-year-old fled after shooting the officers and then hid to prevent arrest, local police said. After hours of negotiations, the man shot himself when police tried to take him into custody. "We can't say anything about the condition of the suspect at the time," the police said, without specifying if the man was even alive. The police also declined to provide further details about why they were searching the house near the German and Austrian borders, but did say that the man was trying to commit an act of terror. The injured police officers were taken to a hospital, one of them in critical condition. -- SPA 23:13 LOCAL TIME 20:13 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w305710
