Two people died in a shooting in Zurich's city centre on Friday that police said did not appear to have any link to terrorism.

Police responding to reports of shots fired near the Swiss financial capital's main railway station shortly after 14:30 (1330 GMT) found one person dead and another gravely wounded, reports Reuters.

The second person later died, police said in a statement.

Authorities gave no more details, but said the situation was under control and there was no danger to the public.

Two small tents were erected at the blocked-off crime scene; close to offices used by Swiss bank UBS.
