Al Arabiya said the state television, which tweeted the news of the attack, did not clear the motive for the shooting in southern Saudi Arabia on Thursday.
 
Reuters has reported that the authorities are treating the attack, which took place in the Jizan region, as criminal.

The attacker has been arrested, Saudi Interior Ministry spokesman General Mansour Turki said.
 
He said two people had also been wounded.

Saudi newspaper Al Riyadh posted a picture of emergency vehicles outside a four-storey building. Other local media described it as a personal dispute.

Saudi Arabia has seen several incidents of deadly violence in recent months. A suicide bombing and gun attack on Shia Muslim worshippers killed at least four people in eastern Saudi Arabia in January.
