A gunman has killed at least 6 people in an attack on an education department in southern Saudi Arabia, multiple sources confirm.
The attacker has been arrested. From Arab News:
A teacher armed with an automatic weapon stormed a Ministry of Education office in the southern region of Jazan and shot dead at least six people on Thursday, local media reported.
Three other office staff were injured, online news site 3alyoum.com said, quoting Jazan police.
The office is located in Al Dayer governorate, eastern Jazan.
Police have cordoned off the office compound and were looking for the assailant, who is said to be teaching at a secondary school, the report said.
Disgruntled employee (maybe he was mad that the kingdom rolled back fuel subsidies) or excuse to invade Syria? We’ll see.
