Zurich cantonal
police said authorities had identified the suspect, but gave no
details. A news conference was scheduled for 1300 GMT.
The gunman had stormed into the Islamic center and opened fire
on worshippers.
"The dead man found around 300 meters (yards) from the scene of
the crime after the shooting in the mosque is the suspect," a
statement on a police website said.
Two of the three victims -- aged 30, 35 and 56 -- were seriously
injured in the attack, which took place shortly after 5:30 p.m.
(1630 GMT) near the main train station in Switzerland's
financial capital. A third sustained less severe injuries.
Police had identified the suspect only as a man around 30 years
old wearing dark clothing and a dark woolen cap who fled the
mosque after the attack.
