Two People Have Been Killed After A Shooter Opened Fire At A Saudi School
A shooter has opened fire at a school in Saudi Arabia, but thankfully no students were present thanks to school holidays.
The US Mission in Saudi Arabia tweeted the information on Wednesday afternoon.
The school, Kingdom School in Riyadh is a private school, owned by Kingdom Holdings – the company of Saudi billionaire, Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal.
Reports that two adults have been killed have been shared on Saudi media, but it’s currently unconfirmed by official sources.
Current information suggests the shooter was an ex-teacher at the school.
