“Several tens of people” were killed at the bar but “it is premature to give you a more precise figure,” Valais Canton police commander Frédéric Gisler told a news conference. Beatrice Pilloud, Valais Canton attorney general, said it was too early to determine the cause of the fire but a terror attack was not suspected.
