Two people were killed Wednesday evening in a shooting near the US Consulate in Jeddah, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported. “A person in a car stopped near the American consulate building in Jeddah Governorate and got out of it carrying a firearm in his hand, so security authorities took the initiative to deal with him as required and the exchange of fire resulted in his death,” the SPA cited a spokesperson for the Mecca Region police as saying. A Nepalese worker in the consulate’s security guards died of his injury during the shooting, according to the SPA. It said that investigations continue into the attack.
