[SUPER=03-Zug, Switzerland;]
Today's attack left at least 14 people dead, including three local government leaders.
Police won't say exactly HOW the gunman died.
He reportedly dressed as a policeman, stormed into a government
session and opened fire with an assault rifle.
Authorities say he then set off an explosive.
No word on any possible motives
While Switzerland has some of the most liberal gun laws in the world, officials say security may have to be reviewed.

Kim, Optical Cable Corporation manufactures fiber optic cable in Roanoke County.
Sine the terrorist attacks, it has lost two-thirds of its value .. and in the last year, company stock has fallen more than 90 per cent.
Late this summer, the company's C-E-O Bob Kopstein was forced to sell massive amounts Optical Cable stock he held,
stock he used as collateral for other investments. In the financial world, that's a "Margin Call".
Such calls are common in declining markets, but some area financial experts we spoke to, who did not want to be indentified, say this large number and volume of transactions by a senior company official IS unusual.

I've tried to reach Kopstein and his Chief Financial Officer Neil Wilkin by phone and e-mail.
