GENEVA, May 1 (Xinhua) -- Former Swiss skiing star Corinne Rey-Bellet was shot to death along with her brother Alain in their parents' home, police said Monday.

    Their mother was hospitalized with serious injuries from the attack late Sunday in the Swiss mountain resort of Les Crosets, according to a statement from Valais cantonal (state) police.

    Police said the attacker, an unidentified man who entered the house before shooting, had already fled the scene when they arrived and eluded a search that began immediately.

    The 33-year-old Rey-Bellet shared a 2003 World Championships silver medal in the downhill at St. Moritz, Switzerland. She retired shortly afterward because of a series of injuries to her right knee during top level competition. Enditem
