Swiss mourn victims of mass killing in national tribute
In Geneva and across Switzerland a minute of silence and church bells honored 14 lawmakers and officials slain in the Zug rampage. Bishop Kurt Koch led the memorial, while Pope John Paul II was represented in condolence. Security tightened as parliament used metal detectors and X ray scanners, with plainclothes officers posted. The attacker Friedrich Leibacher, 57, wore a blue uniform to imitate a police officer before firing. The nation discussed tightening gun controls amid estimates of 420 000 assault rifles and 75 000 handguns in circulation.
